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 November 13, 2008, applicable to workers of Freudenberg Nonwovens, Industrial and Interlining Div., Durham, North Carolina. The notice was published in the Federal Register on December 1, 2008 (73 FR 72847).

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 interlining and industrial nonwoven products.

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 Freudenberg Nonwovens, Pellon Corporation, Industrial and Interlining Division who were adversely affected by increased imports of interlining and industrial nonwoven products.
