DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-63,027]


Powermate Corporation, Including Temporary Workers From Manpower 
Temp Agency, Springfield, MN; 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 Regarding 
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative 
Trade Adjustment Assistance on March 28, 2008, applicable to workers of 
Powermate Corporation, Springfield, Minnesota. The notice was published 
in the Federal Register on April 11, 2008 (73 FR 19899).
    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 air compressors and pressure washers. New 
information provided to the Department shows that beginning in June 
2007, some workers at the subject firm were temporary workers from 
Manpower Temp Agency and were subsequently hired by Powermate 
Corporation.
    Consequently, some of the workers at the subject firm had their 
wages reported under the Unemployment Insurance (UI) tax account for 
Manpower.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification to 
properly reflect this matter.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Powermate Corporation who were adversely affected by 
increased company imports.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-63,027 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Powermate Corporation, including temporary 
workers from Manpower Temp Agency, Springfield, Minnesota, who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
March 18, 2007, through March 28, 2010, 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 3rd day of June
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
