DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-54,254]

 
Newstech NY Inc, Deferiet, NY; 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 on April 27, 2004, applicable to 
workers of Newstech NY Inc, Deferiet, New York. The workers are engaged 
in employment related to the production of upholstery fabrics.
    New information provided by the petitioners indicates their 
intention was to apply for all available Trade Act benefits at the time 
of the filing. Therefore, the Department has made a decision to 
investigate further to determine if the workers are eligible to apply 
for Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance.
    The investigation revealed that a significant number of workers of 
the subject firm are age 50 or over, workers have skills that are not 
easily transferable, and conditions in the industry are adverse.
    Review of this information shows that all eligibility criteria 
under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as amended 
have been met for workers at the subject firm. Accordingly, the 
Department is amending the certification to reflect its finding.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-54,254 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ''All workers of Newstech NY Inc, Deferiet, New York, who became 
totally or partially separated from employment on or after February 
11, 2003 through April 27, 2006, 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 April 2006.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
