Siemens VDO Automotive Corporation, Formerly Known as American 
Electronic Corporation, a Subsidiary of Siemens AG, Sensors Division--
Elkhart Facility, Now Known as Continental AG, Elkhart, Indiana; 
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 Regarding 
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative 
Trade Adjustment Assistance on December 19, 2006, applicable to workers 
of Siemens VDO Automotive Corporation, formerly known as American 
Electronic Corp., a subsidiary of Siemens AG, Sensors Div.--Elkhart 
Facility, Elkhart, Indiana. The notice was published in the Federal 
Register on January 16, 2007 (72 FR 1770).
    At the request of International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT), 
Local 364, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the 
subject firm. The workers were engaged in the production of electronic 
sensor devices for automobiles.
    New information shows that following a change in ownership, Siemens 
VDO Automotive Corporation, formerly known as American Electronic 
Corporation, a subsidiary of Siemens AG, Sensors Division--Elkhart 
Facility, is now known as Continental AG.
    Workers separated from employment at the subject firm had their 
wages reported under a separate unemployment insurance (UI) tax account 
for Continental AG.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification to 
properly reflect this matter.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Siemens VDO Automotive Corporation, formerly known as 
American Electronic Corporation, a subsidiary of Siemens AG, Sensors 
Division--Elkhart Facility, now known as Continental AG, who were 
adversely affected by a shift in production of electronic sensor 
devices for automobiles to Mexico.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-60,541 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ``All workers of Siemens VDO Automotive Corporation, formerly 
known as American Electronics Corporation, a subsidiary of Siemens 
AG, Sensors Division--Elkhart Facility, now known as Continental AG, 
Elkhart, Indiana, who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after December 4, 2005, through December 19, 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 20th day of December 2007.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
