VF Knitwear, Inc., Hillsville, VA Commerce Plant, Commerce, GA 
and Ferrum Plant, Ferrum, VA; Amended Certification Regarding 
Eligibility To Apply for NAFTA-Transitional Adjustment Assistance

    In accordance with Section 250(a), Subchapter D, Chapter 2, Title 
II, of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 USC 2273), the Department 
of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for NAFTA 
Transitional Adjustment Assistance on June 8, 1998, applicable to 
workers of VF Knitwear, Inc., Hillsville, Virginia. The notice was 
published in the Federal Register on July 13, 1998 (63 FR 37591).
    At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The company reports that 
worker separations occurred at the Commerce Plant, Commerce, Georgia 
and the Ferrum Plant, Ferrum, Virginia facilities of VF Knitwear, Inc. 
All workers will be separated from the Commerce, Georgia and Ferrum, 
Virginia locations when they close permanently in June, 1999. The 
workers are engaged in the production of t-shirts and fleecewear.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of VF Knitwear, Inc. adversely affected by increased imports 
from Mexico. Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification 
to include workers of VF Knitwear, Inc., Commerce Plant, Commerce, 
Georgia and Ferrum Plant, Ferrum, Virginia.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA-2360 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of VF Knitwear, Inc., Hillsville, Virginia (NAFTA-
2360), Commerce Plant, Commerce, Georgia (NAFTA-2360B) and Ferrum 
Plant, Ferrum, Virginia (NAFTA-2360C) who became totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after May 1, 1997 through 
June 8, 2000, are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 
of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed in Washington, D.C. this 11th day of March, 1999.
