Brayton International, a Subsidiary of Steelcase, Inc., Including 
On-Site Leased Workers From Manpower Group, Experis, Bradley Personnel 
Inc., Graham Personnel Services, Aerotek, Workforce Unlimited, Experis, 
and Impact Business Group High Point, North Carolina; Amended 
Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment 
Assistance

    In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended 
(``Act''), 19 U.S.C. 2273, the Department of Labor issued a 
Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance 
on March 11, 2013, applicable to workers of Brayton International, a 
subsidiary of Steelcase, Inc., including on-site leased workers from 
The Manpower Group/Experis, High Point, North Carolina. The 
Department's Notice of Determination was published in the Federal 
Register on March 8, 2013 (Volume 78 FR 15051).
    At the request of a company official, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers were engaged 
in activities related to the production of office furniture.
    The company reports that workers leased from Bradley Personnel 
Inc., Graham Personnel Services, Aerotek, Workforce Unlimited, Experis, 
and imPact Business Group were employed on-site at the High Point, 
North Carolina location of Brayton International. The Department has 
determined that these workers were sufficiently under the control of 
the subject firm to be considered leased workers.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending this 
certification to include leased workers from Bradley Personnel Inc., 
Graham Personnel Services, Aerotek, Workforce Unlimited, Experis, and 
imPact Business Group working on-site at the High Point, North Carolina 
location of Brayton International.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-82,478 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Brayton International, a subsidiary of Steelcase, 
Inc., including on-site leased workers from Manpower Group, Experis, 
Bradley Personnel Inc., Graham Personnel Services, Aerotek, 
Workforce Unlimited, Experis, and imPact Business Group, High Point, 
North Carolina, who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after February 15, 2012 through March 11, 2015, and 
all workers in the group threatened with total or partial separation 
from employment on the date of certification through March 11, 2015, 
are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of 
Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.

    Signed in Washington, DC, this 10th day of March, 2015.
Michael W. Jaffe,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
