DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training Administration
[TA-W-52,972]
Exfo Gnubi Products Group, Inc., Now Known as Exfo America, Inc.,
Gnubi Communications, L.P., Gnubi Commumications, Inc., Addison, TX;
Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C.
2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on October 17, 2003, applicable
to workers of Exfo Gnubi Products Group, Inc., Addison, Texas. The
notice was published in the Federal Register on November 6, 2003 (68 FR
62834). The certification was amended on November 21, 2003, to reflect
that workers wages were reported under two separated unemployment
insurance (UI) tax accounts for Gnubi Communications, L.P. and Gnubi
Communications, Inc. The notice was published in the Federal Register
on December 29, 2003 (68 FR 74973).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged
in the production of telecommunications test equipment.
New information shows that during 2003, Exfo Gnubi Products Group,
Inc. was consolidated into Exfo America, Inc. and is now known as Exfo
America, Inc. Workers separated from employment at the subject firm had
their wages reported under a separate unemployment insurance (UI) tax
account for Exfo America, Inc.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to
properly reflect this matter.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include all
workers of Exfo Gnubi Products Group, Inc., Addison, Texas who were
adversely affected by a shift in production of telecommunications test
equipment to Canada.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-52,972 is hereby issued as
follows:
All workers of Exfo Gnubi Products Group, Inc., now known as Exfo
America, Inc., Gnubi Communications, L.P., and Gnubi Communications,
Inc., Addison, Texas, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after September 9, 2002, through October 17, 2005,
are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under section 223 of
the Trade Act of 1974.
