Qimonda 200MM Facility Including On-Site Leased Workers From 
Tokyo Electron America and Nikon Precision, Inc. Sandston, VA; 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 December 11, 2008, applicable to workers of 
Qimonda 200MM Facility, Sandston, Virginia. The notice was published in 
the Federal Register on December 30, 2008 (73 FR 79914).
    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 DRAM semiconductor wafers.
    New information shows that workers leased from Tokyo Electron 
America and Nikon Precision, Inc. were employed on-site at the 
Sandston, Virginia location of Qimonda 200MM Facility. The Department 
has determined that these workers were sufficiently under the control 
of Qimonda 200MM Facility to be considered leased workers.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending this 
certification to include workers leased from Tokyo Electron America and 
Nikon Precision, Inc. working on-site at the Sandston, Virginia 
location of the subject firm.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers employed at Qimonda 200MM Facility, Sandston, Virginia who were 
adversely affected by a shift in production to a foreign country 
followed by increased imports of articles like or directly competitive 
with the DRAM semiconductor wafers produced by the subject firm.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-64,401 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ``All workers of Qimonda 200MM Facility, including on-site 
leased workers from Tokyo Electron America and Nikon Precision, 
Inc., Sandston, Virginia, who became totally or partially separated 
from employment on or after November 11, 2007 through December 11, 
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 10th day of February 2009
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
