The notice was published in the Federal Register on October 8, 2008 (73 FR 58981). At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged in the production of truck clutches. Findings show that there was a previous certification, TA–W–60,256, issued on December 18, 2006, for the workers of the Auburn, Indiana, location of the subject firm. That certification expires December 18, 2008. To avoid an overlap in worker group coverage for the workers of the Auburn, Indiana, location, the certification is being amended to change the impact date from September 10, 2007, to December 19, 2008. Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to properly reflect this matter. The intent of the Department’s certification is to include all workers of Eaton Corporation, Clutch Division, who were adversely affected by a shift in production of truck clutches to Mexico. The amended notice applicable to TA–W–64,033 is hereby issued as follows: E:\FR\FM\03NON1.SGM 03NON1
