In accordance with Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273), 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

applicable to workers of Klaussner
Furniture Industries, Inc., Asheboro,
North Carolina. The notice was
published in the Federal Register on
August 12, 2008 (73 FR 46922).
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 upholstered furniture.
Findings show that there was a
previous certification, TA–W–59,586,
issued on July 31, 2006, for the workers
of the Asheboro, North Carolina location
of the subject firm. That certification
expired July 31, 2008. To avoid an
overlap in worker group coverage for the
workers of the Asheboro, North Carolina

amended to change the impact date
from July 31, 2008 to August 1, 2008.
Accordingly, the Department is
amending the certification to properly
reflect this matter.
