DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-75,201]


Abbott Laboratories, Diagnostics Division, Including On-Site 
Leased Workers From Manpower (Experis US, Inc. and Manpower of Texas 
Limited Partnership), Comsys, Apex, Fountain Group, Kelly Mitchell, 
Collaborative Technologies, Partners Consulting, Glotel (Adecco), 
Innovative Alternatives, Collins Consulting, and On Assignment, Irving, 
TX; 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 February 24, 2011, applicable to workers of Abbott Laboratories, 
Diagnostics Division, including on-site leased workers from Manpower, 
Comsys, Apex, Fountain Group, Kelly Mitchell, Collaborative 
Technologies, Partners Consulting, Glotel (Adecco), Innovative 
Alternatives, Collins Consulting and On Assignment, Irving, Texas. The 
workers are engaged in activities related to the production of 
immunoassay diagnostic analyzers, associated accessories, and spare 
parts. The notice was published in the Federal Register on March 10, 
2011 (76 FR 13232).
    At the request of the Texas Workforce Commission, the Department 
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. New 
information shows that workers leased from Manpower are split into two 
separate groups; Experis US, Inc. (professional) and Manpower of Texas 
Limited Partnership (clerical) were employed on-site at the Irving, 
Texas location of Abbott Laboratories, Diagnostics Division. The 
Department has determined that these workers were sufficiently under 
the control of Abbott Laboratories, Diagnostics Division to be 
considered leased workers.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending this 
certification to include workers leased from Manpower (Experis US, Inc. 
and Manpower of Texas Limited Partnership) working on-site at the 
Irving, Texas location of Abbott Laboratories, Diagnostics Division.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-75,201 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Abbott Laboratories, Diagnostics Division, 
including on-site leased workers from Manpower (Experis US, Inc., 
and Manpower of Texas Limited Partnership), Comsys, Apex, Fountain 
Group, Kelly Mitchell, Collaborative Technologies, Partners 
Consulting, Glotel (Adecco), Innovative Alternatives, Collins 
Consulting, and On Assignment, Irving, Texas, who became totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after February 9, 2010, 
through February 24, 2013, 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 12th day of January 2012.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
