DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-64,401]

 
Qimonda 200 MM Facility, Including On-Site Leased Workers From 
Tokyo Electron America, Nikon Precision, Inc., Ebara Technologies, 
Inc., Air Products and Chemicals, Inc., PSI Repair Services, Exel 
Logistics, Xperts, Inc. and Kla-Tencor and Qimonda North America 
Corporation, Qimonda Richmond, a Subsidiary of Qimonda AG, Sandston, 
VA; 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 11, 2008, applicable to workers of 
Qimonda 200MM Facility, Sandston, Virginia. The notice was published in 
the Federal Register on December 30, 2008 (73 FR 79914). The 
certification was amended on February 10, 2009, March 3, 2009 and March 
31, 2009 to include on-site leased workers of Tokyo Electron America, 
Nikon Precision, Ebara Technologies and Air Products and Chemicals, 
Inc. and Qimonda North America Corp., Qimonda Richmond, an on-site 
subsidiary of the subject firm. These notices were published in the 
Federal Register on February 23, 2009 (74 FR 8111), March 11, 2009 (74 
FR 10619) and April 7, 2009 (74 FR 15752) respectfully.
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged 
in the production of DRAM semiconductor wafers.
    The company reports that workers leased from PSI Repair Services, 
Exel Logistics, Xperts, Inc. and KLA/Tencor were employed on-site at 
the Sandston, Virginia location of Qimonda 200MM Facility. The 
Department has determined that these workers were sufficiently under 
the control of Qimonda 200MM Facility to be considered leased workers.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending this 
certification to include workers leased from PSI Repair Services, Exel 
Logistics, Xperts, Inc. and KLA/Tencor working on-site at the Sandston, 
Virginia location of the subject firm.
    The intent of the Department's certification to include all workers 
employed at Qimonda 200MM Facility, Sandston, Virginia who were 
adversely affected by a shift in production to a foreign country 
followed by increased imports of articles like or directly competitive 
with DRAM semiconductor wafers produced by the subject firm.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-64,401 is hereby issued as 
follows:

All workers of Qimonda 200MM Facility, including on-site leased 
workers from Tokyo Electron America, Nikon Precision, Inc., Ebara 
Technologies, Inc., Air Products and Chemicals, Inc., PSI Repair 
Services, Exel Logistics, Xperts, Inc., and KLA-Tensor and including 
on-site workers of Qimonda North America Corp., Qimonda Richmond, a 
subsidiary of Qimonda AG, Sandston, Virginia, who became totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after November 11, 2007 
through December 11, 2010, 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 June 2009.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
