Spring Ford Industries, Inc.; Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2, 
Chilhowie, Virginia and Sparta Plant, Sparta, North Carolina; 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 January 19, 2000, applicable 
to workers of Spring Ford Industries, Inc., Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 
2, Chilhowie, Virginia. The notice was published in the Federal 
Register on February 4, 2000 (65 FR 5690).
    At the request of the petitioners, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. New information shows 
that worker separations occurred in January, 2000 at the Sparta Plant 
of Spring Ford Industries, Inc., Sparta, North Carolina. The workers 
are engaged in employment related to the production of tee shirts.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to cover 
workers of Spring Ford Industries, Inc., Sparta Plant, Sparta, North 
Carolina.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Spring Ford Industries, Inc., adversely affected by 
increased imports.
