Biddeford Blankets, LLC Microlife USA Subsidiaries of Microlife 
Corporation Biddeford, MA; 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) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to 
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade Adjustment

The

[[Page 16961]]

notice was published in the Federal Register on December 29, 2003 (68 
FR 74979).
    At the request of a petitioner, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged 
in the production of flexible heating products, including electric 
warming blankets.
    New information shows that Biddeford Blankets, LLC and Microlife 
USA are subsidiaries of Microlife Corporation. Workers separated from 
employment at the subject firm had their wages reported under a 
separate unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for Microlife USA.
    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 Biddeford Blankets, LLC who were adversely affected by 
increased imports.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-53,288 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Biddeford Blankets, LLC, Microlife USA, 
subsidiaries of Microlife Corporation, Biddeford, Maine, who became 
totally or partially separated from employment on or after October 
17, 2002, through November 21, 2005, 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 12th day of March 2004.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
