Delfingen US, Inc., El Paso North Division, Formerly Known as M&Q 
Plastics Products, Also Known as Sofanou, Inc., El Paso, TX; 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 Regarding 
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and a Negative 
Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Alternative Trade 
Adjustment Assistance on September 4, 2008, applicable to workers of 
Delfingen US, Inc., El Paso North Division, El Paso, Texas. The notice 
was published in the Federal Register on September 18, 2008 (73 FR 
54173).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers were engaged 
in employment related to the production of plastic tubing.
    New information shows that in March 2008, Delfingen US, Inc. 
purchased M&Q Plastic Products. Currently some of the workers wages at 
the subject firm are being reported under several Unemployment 
Insurance (UI) tax accounts for Delfingen US, Inc., formerly known as 
M&Q Plastic Products, also known as Safanou, Inc.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification to 
properly reflect this matter.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Delfingen US, Inc., El Paso North Division, formerly known 
as M&Q Plastic Products, also known as Safanou, Inc., El Paso, Texas 
who were adversely affected by a shift in production of plastic tubing 
to Mexico and the Philippines.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-63,927 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Delfingen US, Inc., El Paso North Division, 
formerly known as M&Q Plastic Products, also known as Safanou, Inc., 
El Paso, Texas, who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after August 22, 2007, through September 4, 2010, 
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 13th day of November 2008.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
