In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273) the Department of Labor issued a Notice of Certification Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on August 25, 2004, applicable to workers of Hewitt Soap Works, Inc., a subsidiary of Bradford Soap Works, Inc., Dayton, Ohio. The notice was published in the Federal Register on September 23, 2004 (69 FR 57094).

At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. New information shows that worker separations occurred involving employees of the Dayton, Ohio facility of Hewitt Soap Works, Inc., a subsidiary of Bradford Soap Works, Inc. located in Peapack, New Jersey and Atlanta, Georgia.

Mr. Thomas O'Callaghan and Mr. Larry Southard provided sales support services for the production of bar soap at the Dayton, Ohio location of the subject firm.

Based on these findings, the Department is amending this certification to include employees of the Dayton, Ohio facility of Hewitt Soap Works, Inc., located in Peapack, New Jersey and Atlanta, Georgia. Since workers of the Dayton, Ohio location of the subject firm were certified eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance, the Department is extending this eligibility to Mr. Thomas O'Callaghan in Peapack, New Jersey and Mr. Larry Southard in Atlanta, Georgia.

The intent of the Department's certification is to include all workers of Hewitt Soap Works, Inc., a subsidiary of Bradford Soap Works, Inc., Dayton, Ohio, who were adversely affected by increased imports.
