    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 April 27, 2010, applicable to workers of Sony Electronics, Inc., SEL 
Headquarters, including on-site leased workers of SelectRemedy, 
StaffMark, and Payrolling.com, San Diego, California (TA-W-71,501); 
Sony Electronics, Inc., including on-site leased workers of 
SelectRemedy, StaffMark, and PayRolling.com, San Jose, California (TA-
W-71,501A); Sony Electronics, Inc., including on-site leased workers of 
WillStaff, Danco Industrial Contractors, Advantage, Cyclone Automation, 
and Rjesus Fabrication, Dothan, Alabama (TA-W-71,501B); and Sony 
Electronics, Inc., including on-site leased workers of SelectRemedy, 
Itasca, Illinois (TA-W-71,501C). The notice was published in the 
Federal Register on July 1, 2010 (75 FR 38143-38144).
    At the request of a company official, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged 
in activities related to production of electronics and various support 
operations, including marketing, professional, corporate and customer 
support, import/export compliance, procurement, and warranty services.
    New information shows that worker separations also occurred during 
the relevant time period at Bentonville, Arkansas; Carson, California; 
Culver City, California; Lake Forest, California; Los Angeles, 
California; Boulder, Colorado; Ft. Myers, Florida; Miami, Florida; 
Honolulu, Hawaii; Novi, Michigan; Troy, Michigan; Eden Prairie, 
Minnesota; Kansas City, Missouri; Park Ridge, New Jersey; Teaneck, New 
Jersey; Irving, Texas; Laredo, Texas; and Richmond, Virginia Sony 
Electronics, Inc. facilities. The relevant data supplied by Sony 
Electronics, Inc. to the Department during its investigation included 
the above eighteen locations.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending this 
certification to include employees of Carson, California, including on-
site leased workers of Select Staffing (TA-W-71,501D); Culver City, 
California (TA-W-71,501E); Lake Forest, California (TA-W-71,501F); Los 
Angeles, California (TA-W-71,501G); Ft. Myers, Florida (TA-W-71,501H); 
Miami, Florida (TA-W-71,501I); Honolulu, Hawaii (TA-W-71,501J); Novi, 
Michigan (TA-W-71,501K); Kansas City, Missouri, including on-site 
leased workers of Kelly Services (TA-W-71,501L); Park Ridge, New Jersey 
(TA-W-71,501M); Teaneck, New Jersey, including on-site leased workers 
of Select Staffing (TA-W-71,501N); Irving, Texas (TA-W-71,501O); and 
Richmond, Virginia (TA-W-71,501P).
    Workers at Bentonville, Arkansas; Boulder, Colorado; Troy, 
Michigan; Eden Prairie, Minnesota; and Laredo,

[[Page 69472]]

Texas were not included in the amended certification because these 
firms either did not employ worker groups (at least three full-time 
workers during the year preceding the TAA petition filing date), or 
fewer than three workers were separated and/or threatened with 
separations during the relevant period.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by a shift in 
production of electronics and various support operations, including 
marketing, professional, corporate and customer support, import/export 
compliance, procurement, and warranty services, to Mexico, China, 
India, and Japan.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-71,501 is hereby issued as 
follows:
