    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

Catawba, North Carolina. The workers are engaged in activities related 
to the production of coaxial cable and coax products for the cable 
television industry. The notice was published in the Federal Register 
on October 26, 2011 (76 FR 66329).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. New information shows 
that workers from Cable Transport, Inc. were employed on-site at the 
Catawba, North Carolina location of CommScope, Inc., Catawba Facility, 
a subsidiary of the Carlyle Group. The Department has determined that 
these workers were sufficiently under the control of CommScope, Inc., 
Catawba Facility, a subsidiary of the Carlyle Group to be considered 
leased workers.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of the subject firm adversely affected by increased company 
imports of coaxial cable and coax products for the cable television 
industry.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending this 
certification to include workers from Cable Transport, Inc. working on-
site at the Catawba, North Carolina location of the subject firm.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-80,307 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of CommScope, Inc., Catawba Facility, a subsidiary 
of the Carlyle Group, including on-site leased workers from 
Staffmasters, including on-site workers from Cable Transport, Inc., 
Catawba, North Carolina (TA-W-80,307) and CommScope., Conover 
Facility, a subsidiary of the Carlyle Group, including remote 
workers reporting to Conover, North Carolina, including on-site 
leased workers from Staffmasters, Conover, North Carolina (TA-W-
80,307A), who became totally or partially separated from employment 
on or after July 20, 2010, through October 13, 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 16th day of February 2012.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
