[TA-W-82,718; TA-W-82,718A]


Schweitzer-Mauduit International, Inc., Paper Machine 
21, Ancram, New York; Schweitzer-Mauduit International, Inc., 
Columbia Mill, Lee, Massachusetts; 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 30, 2013, applicable to workers of Schweitzer-Mauduit 
International, Inc., Paper Machine 21, Ancram, New York. The 
workers are engaged in activities related to the production of porous 
plug warp and long fiber papers for the cigarette industry. The 
Department's notice of determination was published in the Federal 
Register on June 21, 2013 (78 FR 37588).
    At the request of a company official, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. New information from the 
company revealed that workers of Schweitzer-Mauduit International, 
Inc., Columbia Mill, Lee, Massachusetts are employed at a warehouse 
that stores the porous plug warp and long fiber papers for the 
cigarette industry produced at Schweitzer-Mauduit International, Inc., 
Paper Machine 21, Ancram, New York (TA-W-82,718). Although the 
workers are included on the payroll for Schweitzer-Mauduit 
International, Inc., Paper Machine 21, Ancram, New York (TA-W-
82,718), they work and live in Massachusetts.
    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 workers working at Schweitzer-Mauduit 
International, Inc., Columbia Mill, Lee, Massachusetts (TA-W-82,718A).
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-82,718 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Schweitzer-Mauduit International, Inc., Paper 
Machine 21, Ancram, New York (TA-W-82,718) and of 
Schweitzer-Mauduit International, Inc., Columbia Mill, Lee, 
Massachusetts (TA-W-82,718A), who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after May 1, 2012 through May 30, 
2015, and all workers in the group threatened with total or partial 
separation from employment on May 30, 2013 through May 30, 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 19th day of November 2013.
Michael W. Jaffe,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
