Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply for Worker 
Adjustment Assistance; Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation, Primary 
Care Business Unit (Sales) Division, Including On-Site Leased Workers 
From Inventiv Health, Ashfield Healthcare, and Pro Unlimited and 
Including Off-Site Workers In Illinois Reporting to This Location, East 
Hanover, NJ

    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 January 6, 2012, applicable to workers of Novartis Pharmaceuticals 
Corporation, Primary Care Business Unit (Sales) Division, East Hanover, 
New Jersey. The Department's notice of determination was published in 
the Federal Register on January 24, 2012 (77 FR 3501).
    At the request of an Illinois State Workforce Official, the 
Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. 
The workers are engaged in sales of pharmaceuticals.
    New information shows that worker separations have occurred 
involving employees under the control of the subject firm working off-
site in Illinois. The employees support the Novartis Pharmaceuticals 
Corporation, Primary Care Business Unit (Sales) Division, East Hanover, 
New in sales of pharmaceuticals.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by increased 
imports.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending this 
certification to include employees of the subject firm's employees 
working off-site in Illinois.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-80,490 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation, Primary 
Care Business Unit (Sales) Division, East Hanover, New Jersey, 
including employees working off-site in Illinois, who became totally 
or partially separated from employment on or after October 3, 2010, 
through January 6, 2014, and all workers in the group threatened 
with total or partial separation from employment on 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 in Washington, DC, this 4th day of May 2012.
Michael W. Jaffe,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
