DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-56,788]

 
Pentair, Inc., Wicor, Inc., Water, Spa and Bath Division, 
Including On-Site Leased Workers of Volt, Personnel Plus and Apple One 
South El Monte, CA; Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility To 
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Negative Determination 
Regarding Eligibility To Apply for 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 of Eligibility 
to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and a Negative Determination 
Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Alternative Trade Adjustment 
Assistance on April 27, 2005, applicable to workers of Pentair, Inc., 
Water, Spa and Bath Division, including on-site leased workers of VOLT, 
Personnel Plus and Apple One, South El Monte, California. The notice 
was published in the Federal Register on May 6, 2005 (70 FR 25861).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm.
    New information shows that Pentair purchased Wicor, Inc. in August 
2004 that all workers separated from employment at the subject firm had 
their wages reported under a separate unemployment insurance (UI) tax 
account for Wicor, 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 Pentair, Inc., Water, Spa and Bath Division, including on-
site leased workers of VOLT, Personnel Plus and Apple One, South El 
Monte, California who were adversely affected by a shift in production 
to China and Mexico.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-56,788 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Pentair, Inc., Wicor, Inc., including on-site 
leased workers of VOLT, Personnel Plus, and Apple One, South El 
Monte, California, who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after March 21, 2004, through April 27, 2007, are 
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under section 223 of the 
Trade Act of 1974.

    I further determine that all workers of Pentair, Inc., Water Spa 
and Bath Division, including on-site leased workers of VOLT, Personnel 
Plus and Apple One, South Monte, California, are denied eligibility to 
apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under section 246 of 
the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC this 12th day of September 2005.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
