DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-63,584]

 
Nxstage Medical, Inc., Including On-Site Leased Workers From 
Microtech Staffing, Accountemps and JL Longo Staffing, LLC, Lawrence, 
MA; Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply for Worker 
Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

    In accordance with section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 
2273), and section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as 
amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility 
to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade 
Adjustment Assistance on July 3, 2008, applicable to workers of NxStage 
Medical, Inc., including on-site leased workers from Microtech Staffing 
and Accountemps, Lawrence, Massachusetts. The notice was published in 
the Federal Register on July 21, 2008 (73 FR 42370).
    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 dialysis equipment and disposables.
    New information shows that leased workers of JL Longo Staffing LLC 
were employed on-site at the Lawrence, Massachusetts location of 
NxStage Medical, Inc. 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 of JL Longo Staffing LLC 
working on-site at the Lawrence, Massachusetts location of the subject 
firm.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers employed at NxStage Medical, Inc. who were adversely affected 
by a shift in production of dialysis equipment and disposables to 
Mexico.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-63,584 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of NxStage Medical, Inc., including on-site leased 
workers from Microtech Staffing, Accountemps and JL Longo Staffing 
LLC, Lawrence, Massachusetts, who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after June 23, 2007, through July 3, 
2010, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 
223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also eligible to apply for 
alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the 
Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 22nd day of August 2008.
Richard Church,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
