    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 tantalum capacitors.

Simpsonville Facility, Simpsonville, South Carolina. That certification 
expired February 7, 2008. To avoid an overlap in worker group

    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 Kemet Electronics Corporation, a subsidiary of Kemet

tantalum capacitors to Mexico.
