DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-64,331]

 
Suez Energy Bio-Power, a Subsidiary of GDF Suez Energy North 
America, Formerly Known as Tractebel Power, Inc., Forest City, NC; 
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 16, 2008, applicable to workers 
of Suez Energy Bio-Power, a subsidiary of GDF Suez Energy North 
America, Forest City, North Carolina. The Department's Notice of 
determination was published in the Federal Register on January 14, 2009 
(74 FR 2136).
    At the request of a firm official, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. Subject form workers 
provided steam used in the production of knit fabrics by Hanesbrands, 
Inc., Forest City, North Carolina, a firm with a currently TAA-
certified worker group.
    New information shows that some of the workers' wages are being 
reported under the State of North Carolina Unemployment Insurance (UI) 
tax accounts for Tractebel Power, Inc.
    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 the subject firm who were adversely affected by increased 
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the knit fabric 
produced by Hanesbrands, Inc., Forest City, North Carolina.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-64,331 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ``All workers of Suez Energy Bio-Power, a subsidiary of GDF Suez 
Energy North America, formerly known as Tractebel Power, Inc., 
Forest City, North Carolina, who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after October 30, 2007, through 
December 16, 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 10th day of February 2009.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
