Filtronic Comtek, Inc., Currently Known as Powerwave 
Technologies, Inc., Including On-Site Leased Workers From Quality 
Staffing Services, Salisbury, MD; 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 February 13, 2007, applicable to workers 
of Filtronic Comtek, Inc., including on-site leased workers from 
Quality Staffing Services, Salisbury, Maryland. The notice was 
published in the Federal Register on February 27, 2007 (72 FR 8795).
    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 microwave filters for cellular telephone base 
stations.
    New information shows that following a change in ownership in 
October 2006, Filtronic Comtek, Inc. is currently known as Powerwave 
Technologies, Inc. Workers separated from employment at the subject 
firm had their wages reported under a separate unemployment insurance 
(UI) tax account for Powerwave Technologies, Inc.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification to show 
that Filtronic Comtek, Inc. is currently known as Powerwave 
Technologies, Inc.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Filtronic Comtek, Inc., currently known as Powerwave 
Technologies, Inc., who were adversely affected by a shift in 
production to China.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-60,699 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Filtronic Comtek, Inc., currently known as 
Powerwave Technologies, Inc., including on-site leased workers from 
Quality Staffing Services, Salisbury, Maryland, who became totally 
or partially separated from employment on or after January 3, 2006, 
through February 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.

    Signed at Washington, DC this 27th day of June 2008.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
