[TA-W-72,273]


Top Eastern Drill Formerly Known as Kennametal, Inc. and 
Greenfield Industries, Inc. Including On-Site Leased Workers From Mau, 
Manpower and Kelly Services Including Workers Whose Wages Are Reported 
to Phillips Staffing, Evans, GA; 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 October 6, 2009, applicable to workers of Top Eastern Drill, 
formerly known as Kennametal, Inc., and Greenfield Industries, Inc., 
including on-site leased workers from Mau, Manpower and Kelly Services, 
Evans, Georgia. The notice will be published soon in the Federal 
Register.
    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 drill bits and other hole 
making and threading tools.
    Information shows that some workers separated from employment at 
the Evans, Georgia location of the subject firm had their wages 
reported under a separated unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for 
Phillips Staffing.
    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 the subject firm who were adversely affected by the shift in 
production of drill bits and other hole making and threading tools to 
China and Japan.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-72,273 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Top Eastern Drill, formerly known as Kennametal, 
Inc. and Greenfield Industries, Inc., including on-site leased 
workers from MAU, Manpower and Kelly Services, including workers 
whose (UI) wages are reported to Phillips Staffing, Evans, Georgia, 
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or 
after September 1, 2008 through October 6, 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.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 8th day of December 2009.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
