    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 November 20, 2015, applicable to workers of Verso Corporation, 
Wickliffe Mill, including on-site leased workers from Select Staffing, 
U.S. Security Associates and Abbco Janitorial, Wickliffe, Kentucky. The 
Department's notice of determination was published in the Federal 
Register on January 11, 2016 (81 FR 1227).
    At the request of a state workforce office and a company official, 
the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject 
firm. The workers are engaged in activities related to the production 
of coated and uncoated freesheet paper for catalogs, magazines, retail 
inserts, direct mail and general commercial printing applications and 
market pulp.
    New information shows that worker separations have occurred at 
Verso Corporation, Wickliffe Mill, including on-site leased workers 
from Select Staffing, U.S. Security Associates and Abbco Janitorial, 
Wickliffe, Kentucky (TA-W-90,281), Verso Corporation, Beaver Dam 
Woodyard, Beaver Dam, Kentucky (TA-W-90,281A), Verso Corporation, 
Eddyville Woodyard, Eddyville, Kentucky (TA-W-90,281B), Verso 
Corporation, Waldschmidt Woodyard, Wickliffe, Kentucky (TA-W-90,281C),

(TA-W-90,281D), Verso Corporation, Big Sandy Woodyard, Camden, 
Tennessee (TA-W-90,281E), Verso Corporation, Dover Woodyard, Dover, 
Tennessee (TA-W-90,281F). The employees support and work in conjunction 
with Verso Corporation, Wickliffe Mill, including on-site leased 
workers from Select Staffing, U.S. Security Associates and Abbco 
Janitorial, Wickliffe, Kentucky (TA-W-90,281) in woodyards which served 
to procure wood from the source, contracted with timber harvesters, and 
served as the collection site of the wood for short term storage until 
it was transported to the mill.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by customer 
imports of coated and uncoated freesheet paper for catalogs, magazines, 
retail inserts, direct mail and general commercial printing 
applications and market pulp.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending this 
certification to include employees of Verso Corporation, Wickliffe 
Mill, including on-site leased workers from Select Staffing, U.S. 
Security Associates and Abbco Janitorial, Wickliffe, Kentucky (TA-W-
90,281), Verso Corporation, Beaver Dam Woodyard, Beaver Dam, Kentucky

Woodyard, Bethel Springs, Tennessee (TA-W-90,281D), Verso Corporation, 
Big Sandy Woodyard, Camden, Tennessee (TA-W-90,281E), Verso 
Corporation, Dover Woodyard, Dover, Tennessee (TA-W-90,281F).
