    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

Inc., including on-site leased workers from Adecco Employment Services, 
Aerotek, Inc., CDI IT Solutions, D&Z Microelectronics, Pentagon 
Technology, Proactive Business Solution, Inc., Technical Resources, SQA

amended on December 15, 2009 to include the Unemployment Insurance (UI) 
wages for on-site leased workers from CDI IT Solutions is reported 
under CDI Corporation. The amended notice was published in the Federal

    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 semiconductor equipment.
    Information shows that leased workers from Ryder USA and Randstad 
Logistics were employed on-site at the Austin, Texas location of 
Applied Materials, Inc. The Department has determined that these 
workers were sufficiently under the control of Applied Materials, Inc., 
Austin, Texas to be considered leased workers.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending this 
certification to include workers leased from Ryder USA and Randstad 
Logistics working on-site at the Austin, Texas location of Applied 
Materials, Inc.
    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 semiconductor equipment to Singapore.

follows:
