DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-63,459]


Wolverine World Wide, Inc., Formerly Known as Chaco, Inc., 
Paonia, CO; 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 June 18, 2008, applicable to workers of 
Chaco, Inc., Paonia, Colorado. The Department's notice of determination 
was published in the Federal Register on July 14, 2008 (73 FR 40388).
    At the request of a Chaco, Inc. official, the Department reviewed 
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers produced 
headwater sandals.
    New information shows that in January 2009, Wolverine World Wide, 
Inc. purchased Chaco, Inc. and that some of the workers wages are being 
reported under the State of Colorado Unemployment Insurance tax 
accounts for Wolverine World Wide, Inc.
    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 Wolverine World Wide, Inc., formerly known as Chaco, Inc., 
who were adversely affected by increased imports of articles like or 
directly competitive with headwater sandals produced by the subject 
firm.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-63,459 is hereby issued as 
follows:


[[Page 8113]]


    All workers of Wolverine World Wide, Inc., formerly known as 
Chaco, Inc., Paonia, Colorado, who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after May 31, 2007, through June 18, 
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 4th day of February 2009.
 Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
