    In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 
2273), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as 
amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility

Personnel, Bend, Oregon. The workers are engaged in activities related 
to the production of solar invert subcomponents, including thin films 
processing power conversion and thermal instrumentation products and 
solar energy inverters. The notice was published in the Federal 
Register on December 13, 2011(76 FR 77556).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. New information shows 
that Advanced Energy Industries purchased PV Powered, currently known 
as AE Solar Energy, Inc. in May 2010.
    Some workers separated from employment at the Bend, Oregon location 
only had their wages reported through a separate unemployment insurance 
(UI) tax account under the name PV Powered, currently known as AE Solar 
Energy, Inc.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification to 
properly reflect this matter.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by a shift in 
the production of solar invert subcomponents, including thin films 
processing power conversion and thermal instrumentation products and 
solar energy inverters to China.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-80,532 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Advanced Energy Industries, Inc., including on-
site leased workers of Mid Oregon Personnel, including workers whose 
unemployment insurance (UI) wages are reported through PV Powered, 
currently known as AE Solar Energy, Inc., Bend Oregon, who became 
totally or partially separated from employment on or after October 
18, 2010, through November 30, 2013, are eligible to apply for 
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, 
and are also eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment 
assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC this 19th day of January 2012.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
