The notice was published in the Federal Register on May 5, 2010 (75 FR 24750). The notice was corrected on April 23, 2010 to show the correct location of the subject firm should read Hebron, Ohio not North Canton, Ohio which is the headquarters location of the subject firm. 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 banking security equipment. New findings show that worker separations occurred during the relevant time period at the North Canton, Ohio location of Diebold, Incorporated. The North Canton, Ohio location produced banking security equipment and served as the headquarter offices for Diebold, Incorporated. Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to include workers of the North Canton, Ohio location of Diebold, Incorporated. The intent of the Department’s certification is to include all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by a shift in production of banking security equipment to Hungary and China.

The workers develop and produce performance coating solutions for vehicles. The company reports that workers leased from DuPont Performance Coatings, a wholly-owned subsidiary of E.I. DuPont de Nemours Company, OEM, were employed on-site at the Fenton, Missouri location of Chrysler Group, LLC, Manufacturing Division, St. Louis North Plant. The Department has determined that these workers were sufficiently under the control of the subject firm to be considered leased workers.

provided additional guidance on section 408(b)(1)(C), which requires 
that loans be made in accordance with specific provisions in the plan.
