DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-54,758]

 
Technical Associates Leased Workers at Brown & Williamson Tobacco 
Corporation, Currently Known as R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Corporation, an 
Operating Subsidiary of Reynolds American, Inc. Macon, GA; 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), as amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification of 
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on June 23, 2004, 
applicable to workers of Technical Associates employed at Brown & 
Williamson Tobacco Corporation, Macon Georgia. The notice will be 
published soon in the Federal Register.
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The subject firm workers 
were leased workers providing research and development, and training 
support services at the Macon, Georgia facility of Brown & Williamson 
Tobacco Corporation which produces cigarettes.
    New information provided by the company shows that Brown & 
Williamson Tobacco Corporation is currently known as R.J. Reynolds 
Tobacco Company, an operating subsidiary of Reynolds American, Inc. as 
of July 30, 2004. Information also shows that workers separated from 
employment at the subject firm had their wages reported under a 
separate unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for R.J. Reynolds 
Tobacco Company.
    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 Technical Associates who were leased at Brown & Williamson 
Tobacco Corporation, Macon, Georgia, were adversely affected by 
increased imports.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-54,758 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    Workers employed by Technical Associates, working at Brown & 
Williamson Tobacco Corporation, currently known as R.J. Reynolds 
Tobacco Company, an operating subsidiary of Reynolds American, Inc., 
Macon, Georgia, who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after March 18, 2003, through June 23, 2006, are 
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the 
Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed in Washington, DC this 17th day of November 2004.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
