VF Knitwear, Inc., etc., Hillsville, 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 of Labor issued a Notice of Certification 
Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on June 
8, 1998, applicable to workers of VF Knitwear, Inc. located in 
Hillsville, Virginia. The notice was published in the Federal Register 
on July 13, 1998 (63 FR 37590).
    At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The company reports that 
worker separations have occurred at the Commerce Plant, Commerce,

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.

Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to include 
workers of VF Knitwear, Inc., Commerce Plant, Commerce, Georgia and 
Ferrum Plant, Ferrum, Virginia.
