DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-60,578]


Loud Technologies, Inc. Including On-Site Temporary Workers of 
Microtech/KPB Staffing, Whitinsville, MA; Amended Certification 
Regarding Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and 
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

    In accordance with section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 
2273), and section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as 
amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility 
to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade 
Adjustment Assistance on February 22, 2007, applicable to workers of 
Loud Technologies, Inc., Whitinsville, Massachusetts. The notice was 
published in the Federal Register on March 8, 2007 (72 FR 10561).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers were engaged 
in the production of wood speaker cabinets and speakers.
    New information provided by the State agency representative shows 
that some of the former employees of the subject firm were converted to 
a temporary staffing agency, MicroTech/KPB Staffing, and continued 
employment on-site at the Whitinsville, Massachusetts location of Loud 
Technologies, Inc.
    Based on this new information, the Department is amending the 
certification to include temporary workers of MicroTech/KPB Staffing 
working on-site at the Whitinsville, Massachusetts location of the 
subject firm.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers at Loud Technologies, Inc., Whitinsville, Massachusetts, who 
were adversely affected by a likely increase in imports following a 
shift in production to China.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-60,578 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Loud Technologies, Inc., including on-site 
temporary workers of MicroTech/KPB Staffing, Whitinsville, 
Massachusetts, who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after December 11, 2005, through February 22, 2009, 
are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of 
the Trade Act of 1974, and are also eligible to apply for 
alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the 
Trade Act of 1974.


    Signed at Washington, DC this 6th day of August 2007.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
