DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-74,593]


Whirlpool Corporation Including On-Site Leased Workers From 
Career Solutions TEC Staffing, Andrews International, IBM Corporation, 
TEK Systems, Penske Logistics, Eurest, and Canteen, Fort Smith, AR; 
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, 2010, applicable to workers of Whirlpool Corporation, 
including on-site leased workers from Career Solutions TEC Staffing, 
Fort Smith, Arkansas. The workers are engaged in the production of 
refrigerators and trash compactors. The notice was published in the 
Federal Register on October 25, 2010 (75 FR 65520). The notice was 
amended on December 6, 2010 to include on-site leased workers from 
Andrews International. The notice was published in the Federal Register 
on December 13, 2010 (75 FR 77665).
    At the request of a company official, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The company reports that 
workers leased from IBM Corporation, TEK Systems, Penske Logistics, 
Eurest, and Canteen were employed on-site at the Fort Smith, Arkansas 
location of Whirlpool Corporation. The Department has determined that 
these workers were sufficiently under the control of Whirlpool 
Corporation to be considered leased workers.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending this 
certification to include workers leased from IBM Corporation, TEK 
Systems, Penske Logistics, Eurest, and Canteen working on-site at the 
Fort Smith, Arkansas location of Whirlpool Corporation.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-74,593 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Whirlpool Corporation, including on-site leased 
workers from Career Solutions TEC Staffing, Andrews International, 
IBM Corporation, TEK Systems, Penske Logistics, Eurest, and Canteen, 
Fort Smith, Arkansas, who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after October 2, 2010, through October 6, 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 7th day of November 2011.
 Michael W. Jaffe,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
