DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-82,346]


Whirlpool Corporation, Including On-Site Leased Workers From 
Aerotek/Tek Systems (Subcontractor of IBM Corporation) and Jones Lang 
LaSalle for Smith, Arkansas; 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 May 10, 2013, applicable to workers of Whirlpool Corporation, 
including on-site leased workers from Aerotek/Tek Systems 
(subcontractor of IBM Corporation), Fort Smith, Arkansas. The 
Department's notice of determination was published in the Federal 
Register on May 30, 2013 (Volume 78 FR Pages 32464-32467).
    At the request of the State Workforce Office, the Department 
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers 
were engaged in production of refrigerators and trash compactors as 
well as decommissioning work for the facility closure.
    The state reports that workers leased from Jones Lang LaSalle 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 the subject firm to be considered 
leased workers.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending this 
certification to include workers leased from Jones Lang LaSalle working 
on-site at the Fort Smith, Arkansas location of Whirlpool Corporation.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-82,346 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Whirlpool Corporation, including on-site leased 
workers from Aerotek/Tek Systems (subcontractor of IBM Corporation) 
and Jones Lang LaSalle, Fort Smith, Arkansas, who became totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after October 7, 2012 
through May 10, 2015, and all workers in the group threatened with 
total or partial separation from employment on the date of 
certification through May 10, 2015, 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 2nd day of July, 2013.
Michael W. Jaffe,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
