    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

Furniture Industries, Incorporated, Henredon Plant 10, Mt. 
Airy, North Carolina. The notice was published in the Federal Register 
on April 30, 2009 (74 FR 19996).
    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 upholstered furniture.
    New information shows that Furniture Brands International,

firm are being reported under the Unemployment Insurance (UI) tax 
account for Furniture Brands International, Incorporated.
    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 HDM Furniture Industries, Incorporated, Henredon Plant 
10, a subsidiary of Furniture Brands International, 
Incorporated, Mt. Airy, North Carolina who were adversely affected by 
increased imports and a shift in the production of upholstered 
furniture to China and the Philippines.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-65,399 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of HDM Furniture Industries, Incorporated, Henredon
