Tultex Corporation, South Boston, Virginia; Amended Certification 
Regarding Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

    In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 
2273) the Department Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to 
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on January 13, 2000, applicable 
to workers of Tultex Corporation, South Boston, Virginia. The notice 
was published in the Federal Register on February 4, 2000 (65 FR 5690).
    At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged 
in employment related to the production of fleece activewear. New 
findings show that California Shirt Sales, Inc., is a wholly owned 
subdivision of Tultex Corporation. Worker separations occurred at 
various locations of California Shirt Sales when Tultex Corporation 
closed all locations, including the South Boston, Virginia plant, in 
February, 2000. The workers provided distribution of finished fleece 
activewear manufactured by Tultex Corporation to its customers.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Tultex Corporation who were adversely affected by increased 
imports.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-37,208 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Tultex Corporation, South Boston, Virginia (TA-W-
37,208) and California Shirt Sales, Inc., Fullerton, California (TA-
W-37,208A), Honolulu, Hawaii (TA-W-37,208B), Las Vegas, Nevada (TA-
W-37,208C), Oakland, California (TA-W-37,208D), Kent, Washington 
(TA-W-37,208F) and Tempe, Arizona (TA-W-37,208G) who became totally 
or partially separated from employment on or after December 16, 1998 
through January 13, 2002 are eligible to apply for adjustment 
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC this 7th day of April, 2000.
Grant D. Beale,
Program Manager, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
