Thomasville Furniture Industries Corporate Office Including On-
Site Workers of Furniture Brands International, Thomasville, NC; 
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 December 29, 2005, applicable to workers of 
Thomasville Furniture Industries, Corporate Office, Thomasville, North 
Carolina. The notice was published in the Federal Register on January 
17, 2006 (71 FR 2568).
    At the request of a company official, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers provide a 
variety of support services, including benefits administration, 
translation, accounting, supply chain management and payroll.
    New information shows that workers of Furniture Brands 
International, parent company of the subject firm, were employed on-
site at the Corporate Office, Thomasville, North Carolina location of 
Thomasville Furniture Industries. These workers provided various design 
functions supporting the subject firm.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending this 
certification to include workers of Furniture Brands International 
working on-site at the Corporate Office, Thomasville, North Carolina 
location of the subject firm.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers employed at Thomasville Furniture Industries, Corporate Office, 
Thomasville, North Carolina who were adversely affected by an increase 
in imports following a shift in production to China.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-58,363 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Thomasville Furniture Industries, Corporate 
Office, including on-site workers of Furniture Brands International, 
Thomasville, North Carolina, who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after March 11, 2005, through 
December 29, 2007, 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 4th day of January 2008.
