In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended
(``Act''), 19 U.S.C. 2273, the Department of Labor issued a
Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
on April 27, 2010, applicable to workers of Sony Electronics, Inc., SEL
Headquarters, including on-site leased workers of SelectRemedy,
StaffMark, and Payrolling.com, San Diego, California (TA-W-71,501);
Sony Electronics, Inc., including on-site leased workers of
SelectRemedy, StaffMark, and PayRolling.com, San Jose, California (TA-
W-71,501A); Sony Electronics, Inc., including on-site leased workers of
WillStaff, Danco Industrial Contractors, Advantage, Cyclone Automation,
and Rjesus Fabrication, Dothan, Alabama (TA-W-71,501B); and Sony
Electronics, Inc., including on-site leased workers of SelectRemedy,
Itasca, Illinois (TA-W-71,501C). The notice was published in the
Federal Register on July 1, 2010 (75 FR 38143-38144).
At the request of a company official, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged
in activities related to production of electronics and various support
operations, including marketing, professional, corporate and customer
support, import/export compliance, procurement, and warranty services.
New information shows that worker separations also occurred during
the relevant time period at Bentonville, Arkansas; Carson, California;
Culver City, California; Lake Forest, California; Los Angeles,
California; Boulder, Colorado; Ft. Myers, Florida; Miami, Florida;
Honolulu, Hawaii; Novi, Michigan; Troy, Michigan; Eden Prairie,
Minnesota; Kansas City, Missouri; Park Ridge, New Jersey; Teaneck, New
Jersey; Irving, Texas; Laredo, Texas; and Richmond, Virginia Sony
Electronics, Inc. facilities. The relevant data supplied by Sony
Electronics, Inc. to the Department during its investigation included
the above eighteen locations.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include employees of Carson, California, including on-
site leased workers of Select Staffing (TA-W-71,501D); Culver City,
California (TA-W-71,501E); Lake Forest, California (TA-W-71,501F); Los
Angeles, California (TA-W-71,501G); Ft. Myers, Florida (TA-W-71,501H);
Miami, Florida (TA-W-71,501I); Honolulu, Hawaii (TA-W-71,501J); Novi,
Michigan (TA-W-71,501K); Kansas City, Missouri, including on-site
leased workers of Kelly Services (TA-W-71,501L); Park Ridge, New Jersey
(TA-W-71,501M); Teaneck, New Jersey, including on-site leased workers
of Select Staffing (TA-W-71,501N); Irving, Texas (TA-W-71,501O); and
Richmond, Virginia (TA-W-71,501P).
Workers at Bentonville, Arkansas; Boulder, Colorado; Troy,
Michigan; Eden Prairie, Minnesota; and Laredo,
[[Page 69472]]
Texas were not included in the amended certification because these
firms either did not employ worker groups (at least three full-time
workers during the year preceding the TAA petition filing date), or
fewer than three workers were separated and/or threatened with
separations during the relevant period.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include all
workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by a shift in
production of electronics and various support operations, including
marketing, professional, corporate and customer support, import/export
compliance, procurement, and warranty services, to Mexico, China,
India, and Japan.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-71,501 is hereby issued as
follows:
