DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-73,859]


Watkins Shepard Trucking, Inc. Including Individuals Under Its 
Operation Control, Missoula, MT; 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 14, 2010, applicable to workers of Watkins Shepard Trucking, 
Inc., Missoula, Montana. The Department's Notice of determination will 
soon be published in the Federal Register. The certification included 
independent contractors working on-site at the subject firm.
    At the request of the State of Montana, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm.
    By definition, independent contractors are not under the operation 
control of another entity. Accordingly, the Department is amending the 
certification to exclude independent contractors.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Watkins Shepard Trucking, Inc., Missoula, Montana and all 
individuals under the operation control of the subject firm who are 
adversely affected secondary workers.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-73,859 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ``All workers of Watkins Shepard Trucking, Inc., including 
individuals under its operational control, Missoula, Montana, who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
March 23, 2009, through July 14, 2012, and all workers in the group 
threatened with total or partial separation from employment on the 
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 28th day of July 2010.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
