    In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended

    At the request of the Company, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged 
in the production of wet emulsion used in the construction industry, 
such as adhesives, paints, caulks, grouts and paper products.
    The company reports that worker separations occurred at the

provided R&D, application support, tech service, business support 
functions (sales) service functions for the subject firms' production 
facility in South Brunswick, New Jersey.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending this 
certification to include workers of the Wacker Chemical Corporation, 
Wacker Polymer Division, Allentown, Pennsylvania.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by the shift in 
production of wet emulsions used in the construction industry, such as 
adhesive, paints, caulks, grouts and paper products to Germany and 
China.
