DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training Administration
[TA-W-63,439]
Watson Laboratories, Inc., a Connecticut Corporation, Including
Workers Located Off-Site in Danbury, CT, Carmel, 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), 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 January 23, 2009, applicable to workers of
Watson Laboratories, Inc., a Connecticut Corporation, Carmel, New York.
The notice was published in the Federal Register on July 14, 2009 (73
FR 135).
At the request of the company official, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers produce
pharmaceuticals and medicines. New information provided by the company
shows that the worker group included workers located off-site at an
affiliated facility in Danbury, Connecticut.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include all
workers at the subject firm who were adversely affected by the shift in
production of pharmaceuticals and medicines to India and their
subsequent import.
The Department has determined that the workers located in Carmel,
New York and the workers located in Danbury, Connecticut are not
separately identifiable by product.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers of the subject firm working off-site
at the Danbury, Connecticut location of the subject firm.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-64,439 is hereby issued as
follows:
``All workers of Watson Laboratories Inc., a Connecticut
Corporation, including workers located off-site in Danbury,
Connecticut, Carmel, New York, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after May 27, 2007 through two years
from the date of certification 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 in Washington, DC, this 18th day of May 2009.
Richard Church,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
