DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-61,999]


Geneon Entertainment (USA), Inc.; Formerly Known As Pioneer 
Entertainment; Long Beach, CA; 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 September 13, 2007, applicable to workers of 
Geneon Entertainment (USA), Inc., Long Beach, California. The notice 
was published in the Federal Register on September 27, 2007 (72 FR 
54939).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged 
in the production of DVD masters.
    New information shows that the subject firm originally named 
Pioneer Entertainment, was renamed Geneon Entertainment (USA), Inc. due 
to a change in ownership in late 2003. Workers separated from 
employment at the subject firm had their wages reported under a 
separate unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for Pioneer 
Entertainment.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to 
properly reflect this matter.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Geneon Entertainment (USA), Inc., Long Beach, California, 
who were adversely affected by a shift in production of DVD masters to 
China.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-61,999 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Geneon Entertainment (USA) Inc., formerly known 
as Pioneer Entertainment, Long Beach, California, who became totally 
or partially separated from employment on or after August 13, 2006, 
through September 13, 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.
