are in support of and under the control of the High Pont, North

a/ Engineered Polymer Solutions.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending this 
certification to include employees in support of the High Point, North 
Carolina facility of the subject firm working on-site at American of

Polymer Solutions, High Point, North Carolina who qualify as 
secondarily affected by increased imports of wood coatings (paints,
