The notice was published in the Federal Register on October 31, 2006 (71 FR 63800).

At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers were engaged in the production of machined parts for glass forming machines.

Based on these findings, the Department is amending this certification to include leased workers of Availability working on-site at Owens-Brockway, Inc., Global Glass Technologies Division, a division of Owens-Illinois, Inc., Godfrey, Illinois.

The intent of the Department's certification is to include all workers employed at Owens-Brockway, Inc., Global Glass Technologies Division, a division of Owens-Illinois, Inc. who were adversely affected by a shift in production to the United Kingdom, Colombia, South America, Mexico and China.

The amended notice applicable to TA-W-60,136 is hereby issued as follows:
