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 August 26, 2009, applicable to workers of Klaussner Furniture 
Industries, Inc., Plant 3, Asheboro, North Carolina (TA-W-
70,989) and Klaussner Furniture Industries, Inc., Plant 33, 
Asheboro, North Carolina (TA-W-70,989A). The Department's Notice was 
published in the Federal Register on November 5, 2009 (74 FR 57340).
    At the request of a company official, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm.
    New information shows that the Milford, Iowa facility operates in 
conjunction with the Asheboro, North Carolina facilities. The Asheboro, 
North Carolina facilities supplied component parts for the Milford, 
Iowa facility in the assembly of furniture produced by the subject 
firm. Further, all workers at the Milford, Iowa facility experienced 
separations (total or partial), or the threat of such separations, and 
the subject firm's sales and production were impacted by an increase in 
imports of upholstered household goods.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to 
include workers of the Milford, Iowa facility of Klaussner Furniture 
Industries, Inc.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-70,989 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ``All workers of Klaussner Furniture Industries, Inc., Plant 
3, Asheboro, North Carolina (TA-W-70,989), who became 
totally or partially separated from employment on or after February 
14, 2009, through two years from the date of certification, 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;'' and
    ``All workers of Klaussner Furniture Industries, Plant 
33, Asheboro, North Carolina (TA-W-70,989A), and Klaussner 
Corporate Services, Inc., also known as Klaussner of Iowa, a 
division of Furniture Industries, Inc., Milford, Iowa (TA-W-70,989B) 
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or 
after June 2, 2009, through two years from the date of 
certification, 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 in Washington, DC this 26th day of August, 2011.
