Linq Industrial Fabrics, Inc. Including Workers Whose Wages Were 
Paid by Thrace-Linq, Inc. and Texene LLC, Summerville, SC; 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 1074 (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 August 13, 2007, applicable to workers of LINQ 
Industrial Fabrics, Inc., Summerville, South Carolina. 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 workers were engaged 
in the production of woven and nonwoven industrial textile fabrics.
    New information shows that when LINQ Industrial Fabrics, Inc., 
closed April 30, 2007, Thrace-LINQ, Inc. and Texene LLC purchased the 
assets of the subject firm. Workers of the subject firm then became 
employees of Thrace-LINQ, Inc. and Texene LLC, and their wages were 
reported under two separate

unemployment insurance (UI) tax accounts: Thrace-LINQ, Inc. and Texene 
LLC.
    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 LINQ Industrial Fabrics, Inc. who were adversely affected by 
increased customer imports.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-61,550 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of LINQ Industrial Fabrics, Inc., including workers 
whose wages were paid by Thrace-LINQ, Inc. and Texene LLC, 
Summerville, South Carolina, who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after April 30, 2006, through August 
13, 2009, 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 28th day of August 2007.
Richard Church,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
