    In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273), as amended, 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 on September 9, 2011, applicable to workers and former workers of Bush Industries, Inc., Mason Drive Facility, Jamestown, New York (TA-W-80,340) and Bush Industries, Inc., Allen Street Facility, Jamestown, New York (TA-W-80,340A). The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the production of Ready-To-Assemble (RTA) furniture.

    At the request of the subject firm, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm.

    New information provided by the subject firm shows that an affiliated warehouse and distribution facility operated in conjunction with the subject firm's Jamestown, New York facilities and the workers at the Erie, Pennsylvania facility were adversely impacted by increased imports of RTA furniture. The worker group at the Erie, Pennsylvania facility includes on-site leased workers of Labor Ready.Start Printed Page 28628
