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. and Air Products and 
Chemicals, Inc., 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 200 MM 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 and March 3, 2009 to 
include on-site leased workers of Tokyo Electron America, Nikon 
Precision and Ebara Technologies. These notices were published in the 
Federal Register on February 23, 2009 (74 FR 8111) and March 11, 2009 
(74 FR 10619) respectfully.
    At the request of the subject firm, 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 worker separations occurred at Qimonda 
North America Corporation, Qimonda Richmond, a subsidiary of Qimonda 
AG, and are on-site with the Qimonda 200 MM Facility. Workers of the 
Qimonda 200 MM Facility and workers of Qimonda North America 
Corporation are not separately identifiable by product line (DRAM 
semiconductor wafers).
    New Information also shows that workers leased from Air Products 
and Chemicals, Inc. were employed on-site at the Sandston, Virginia 
location of Qimonda 200 MM Facility. The Department has determined that 
these workers were sufficiently under the control of the subject form 
to be considered leased workers.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending this 
certification to include all on-site workers of Qimonda North America 
Corporation, Qimonda Richmond, a subsidiary of Qimonda AG and to 
include leased workers from Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. working 
on-site at the Sandston, Virginia location of the subject firm.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-64,401 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Qimonda 200 MM Facility, including on-site leased 
workers from Tokyo Electron America, Nikon Precision, Inc., and Air 
Products and Chemicals, Inc., Sandston, Virginia, and including on-
site workers of Qimonda North America Corporation, 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 31st day of March 2009.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
