[[Page 51218]]

U.S.C. 2813), as amended, the Department of Labor issued a 
Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance 
and Alternative Trade Adjustment assistance on March 18, 2005, 
applicable to workers of Golden Northwest Aluminum, The Dalles, Oregon. 
The notice was published in the Federal Register on May 2, 2005 (70 FR 
27711).
    At the request of the United Steelworkers, District 12, the 
Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. 
The workers are engaged in the production of aluminum.
    New information shows that in June 2006, Golden Northwest Aluminum, 
Inc., and its division, Northwest Aluminum Specialties Company formed 
Northwest Aluminum Specialties, Inc. Currently, Northwest Aluminum 
Specialties Company is now known as Northwest Aluminum Specialties, 
Inc.
    Information also shows that some workers separated from employment 
at the subject firm had their wages reported under two separate 
unemployment insurance (UI) tax accounts for Golden Northwest Aluminum, 
Inc. and Northwest Aluminum Specialties, 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 Golden Northwest Aluminum, The Dalles, Oregon, who were 
adversely affected by increased company imports.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-56,672 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ``All workers of Golden Northwest Aluminum, Northwest Aluminum 
Specialties Company, currently known as Northwest Aluminum 
Specialties, Inc., The Dalles, Oregon, who became totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after March 12, 2005, 
through March 18, 2007, 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 18th day of August 2006.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
