[TA-W-70,832]


American Standard Brands, Crane Plastic, A Subsidiary of AS 
America, Inc. Formerly Known As Crane Plumbing LLC Mansfield, OH; 
Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker 
Adjustment Assistance

    In accordance with section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended 
(``Act''), 19 U.S.C. 2273, the Department of Labor issued a 
Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance 
on July 22, 2009, applicable to workers of American Standard Brands, 
Crane Plastic, a subsidiary of AS America, Inc., Mansfield, Ohio. The 
notice was published in the Federal Register on September 2, 2009 (74 
FR 45477).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged 
in activities related to the production of bathroom shower surround 
systems, tubs, and associated plastic products including ``Rope Twist'' 
surround walls.
    Information shows that some workers separated from employment at 
the subject firm had their wages reported under a separated 
unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for Crane Plumbing LLC, the 
former parent firm of the subject firm.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification to 
properly reflect this matter.
    The intent to the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of

the subject firm who were adversely affected by the shift in production 
of bathroom shower surround systems, tubs and associated plastic 
products including ``Rope Twist'' surround walls to Mexico.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-70,832 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ``All workers of American Standard Brands, Crane Plastic, a 
subsidiary of AS America, Inc., formerly known as Crane Plumbing 
LLC, Mansfield, Ohio, who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after June 1, 2008 through July 22, 2011, and all 
workers in the group threatened with total or partial separation 
from employment on date of certification through two years from the 
date of certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment 
assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as 
amended.''
