At the request of a petitioner, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged in the production of portable fire extinguishers.

All workers of Walter Kidde Portable Equipment, Inc., Kidde Residential & Commercial Division, including on-site temporary workers of Special Team Power and Aerotek, Mebane, North Carolina, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after October 1, 2005, through October 12, 2008, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.
