    In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended

IBM Corporation), Fort Smith, Arkansas. The Department's notice of 
determination was published in the Federal Register on May 30, 2013 (78 
FR 32464).
    At the request of the State Workforce Office, the Department 
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers 
were engaged in production of refrigerators and trash compactors as 
well as decommissioning work for the facility closure.
    The Department confirmed that workers leased from Jones Lang 
LaSalle and Otterbase, Inc. were employed on-site at the Fort Smith, 
Arkansas location of Whirlpool Corporation. 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 workers leased from Otterbase, Inc. working 
on-site at the Fort Smith, Arkansas location of Whirlpool Corporation.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-82,346 is hereby issued as 
follows:

All workers of Whirlpool Corporation, including on-site leased 
workers from Aerotek/Tek Systems (subcontractor of IBM Corporation), 
Jones Lang LaSalle, and Otterbase, Inc., Fort Smith, Arkansas, who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
October 7, 2012 through May 10, 2015, and all workers in the group 
threatened with total or partial separation from employment on the 
date of certification through May 10, 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 11th day of December, 2014.
Michael W. Jaffe,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
