The notice was published in the Federal Register on June 24, 2002 (67 FR 42583).

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

Based on these findings, the Department is amending this certification to include employees of the Tempe, Arizona, Milwaukee, Oregon, Austin, Texas and San Jose, California facilities of Leybold Vacuum USA, Inc.

The intent of the Department's certification is to include all workers of Leybold Vacuum USA, Inc. who were adversely affected by increased imports.
