The workers are engaged in the production of automobile parts and component parts. The notice was published in the Federal Register on February 10, 2011 (76 FR 7590). At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. New findings show that worker separations occurred during the relevant time period at the Orion, Michigan location of Bruss North America, Inc.

The same factors that led to certification of the Russell Springs, Kentucky facility also led to worker separations at the Orion, Michigan location during the relevant time period.

The amended notice applicable to TA–W–72,740 is hereby issued as follows: All workers of Bruss North America, Russell Springs, Kentucky (TA–W–72,740) and Bruss North America, Orion, Michigan (TA–W–72,740A), who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after October 31, 2008, through February 2, 2013, and all workers in the group threatened with total or partial separation from employment on the date of certification through two years from the date of certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.
