DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-60,515]

 
Maytag Corporation, A Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Whirlpool 
Corporation, Newton Division; Including On-Site Leased Workers of 
Henkel Corp., Randstad Corp., Ryerson Steel, Chem-Tool, Barnes 
Electric, Mid Iowa Tools, Kimco Janitorial, Johnson Controls, and Baker 
Electric Newton, IA; 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), 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 Alternative Trade 
Adjustment Assistance on December 26, 2006, applicable to workers of 
Maytag Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Whirlpool Corporation, 
Newton Division, Newton, Iowa. The notice was published in the Federal 
Register on January 16, 2007 (72 FR 1770).
    At the request of a company official, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged 
in the production of laundry products (clothes washers and dryers) and 
are not separately identifiable by specific product.
    New information shows that leased workers of the above listed firms 
were contracted to work on-site at the Newton, Iowa location of Maytag 
Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Whirlpool Corporation, Newton 
Division. These workers provided a variety of functions in support of 
the production of laundry equipment (clothes washers and dryers) 
manufactured at the subject firm. The Department has determined that 
the above listed on-site worker groups are sufficiently under the 
control of Maytag Corporation to be considered leased workers.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers employed at Maytag Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of 
Whirlpool Corporation, Newton Division, Newton, Iowa who were adversely 
affected by increased company imports.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-60,515 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ``All workers of Maytag Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary 
of Whirlpool Corporation, Newton Division, including on-site leased 
workers of Henkel Corp., Randstad Corp., Ryerson Steel, Chem-Tool, 
Barnes Electric, Mid Iowa Tools, Kimco Janitorial, Johnston 
Controls, and Baker Electric, Newton, Iowa, who became totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after December 24, 2006, 
through December 26, 2008, 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 26th day of July, 2007.
Richard Church,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
