Philips Consumer Communications, Lucent Technologies, 
Incorporated, Eatontown, New Jersey; Amended Certification Regarding 
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

    In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 USC 
2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to 
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on May 15, 1998, applicable to 
all workers of Philips Consumer Communications, Lucent Technologies, 
Incorporated located in Eatontown, New Jersey. The notice was published 
in the Federal Register on July 31, 1998 (63 FR 40935).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. New information provided 
by the State shows that Philips Consumer Communications jointly owned 
with Lucent Technologies, Incorporated leased workers from ATC and 
Lucent Temporary Services. The workers leased from ATC and Lucent 
Temporary Services provided research and development of cord and 
cordless telephones and answering machine systems and the production of 
samples at the Eatontown, New Jersey plant of Philips Consumer 
Communications. Worker separations occurred at ATC and Lucent Temporary 
Services as a result of worker separations at Philips Consumer 
Communications.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending the 
certification to include workers of ATC, Edison, New Jersey and Lucent 
Temporary Services, Whippany, New Jersey who provided research and 
development of cord and cordless telephones and answering machine 
systems and the production of samples at Philips Consumer 
Communications, Eatontown, New Jersey.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Philips Consumer Communications adversely affected by 
imports.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-34,383 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Philips Consumer Communications jointly owned 
with Lucent Technologies, Incorporated, Eatontown, New Jersey and 
leased workers of ATC, Edison, New Jersey and Lucent Temporary 
Services, Whippany, New Jersey who provided research and development 
of cord and cordless telephones and answering machine systems and 
the production of samples for Philips Consumer Communications, 
Eatontown, New Jersey who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after March 12, 1997 through May 15, 2000 are 
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the 
Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, D.C. this 14th day of August, 1998.
Grant D. Beale,
Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
