DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-60,515]

 
Maytag Corporation, a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Whirlpool 
Corporation, Newton Division, Including On-Site Leased Workers of 
Henkel Corp., Randstad Corp., Ryerson Steel, Chem-Tool, Barnes 
Electric, Mid Iowa Tools, Kimco Janitorial, Johnson Controls, and Baker 
Electric, Newton, IA; Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility To 
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade Adjustment 
Assistance

    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 
to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade 
Adjustment Assistance on December 26, 2006, applicable to workers of 
Maytag Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary

[[Page 44282]]

of Whirlpool Corporation, Newton Division, Newton, Iowa. The notice was 
published in the Federal Register on January 16, 2007 (72 FR 1770). The 
certification was amended on July 26, 2007 to include numerous on-site 
leased firms. The notice was published in the Federal Register on 
August 2, 2007 (72 FR 42434).
    At the request of a petitioner, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers were engaged 
in the production of laundry products (clothes washers and dryers) and 
are not separately identifiable by specific product.
    Findings show that the above mentioned leased workers working on-
site at the subject firm were not included in the original decision; 
therefore, the impact date will read November 16, 2005, one year prior 
to the date of the petition. The Maytag workers will retain the same 
impact date of December 24, 2006 because a previous certification (TA-
W-56,088) expired on December 23, 2006.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers employed at Maytag Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of 
Whirlpool Corporation, Newton Division, Newton, Iowa who were adversely 
affected by increased imports.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-60,515 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Maytag Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of 
Whirlpool Corporation, Newton Division, Newton, Iowa, who became 
totally or partially separated from employment on or after December 
24, 2006, through December 26, 2008, 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,
    and
    All leased workers from Henkel Corp., Randstad Corp., Ryerson 
Steel, Chem-Tool, Barnes Electric, Mid Iowa Tools, Kimco Janitorial, 
Johnston Controls, and Baker Electric, working on-site at Maytag 
Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Whirlpool Corporation, 
Newton Division, Newton, Iowa, who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after November 16, 2005, through 
December 26, 2008, 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 22nd day of July 2008.
 Richard Church,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
