DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[NAFTA-06070 and NAFTA `` 06070A]

 
Williamson Dickie Manufacturing Company, McAllen 9, 
McAllen, TX, and Williamson Dickie Manufacturing Company, Weslaco, TX; 
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 (19 U.S.C. 2273), the Department of Labor 
issued a Certification for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance on 
July 2, 2002, applicable to workers of Williamson Dickie Manufacturing 
Company, McAllen 9, McAllen, Texas. The notice was published 
in the Federal Register on July 18, 2002 (67 FR 47401).
    At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. New information shows 
that worker separations occurred at the Weslaco, Texas location of 
Williamson Dickie Manufacturing Company when the plant closed 
permanently in September, 2002. The workers were engaged in employment 
related to the production of men's work pants.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to cover 
workers of Williamson Dickie Manufacturing Company, Weslaco, Texas.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Williamson Dickie Manufacturing Company who were adversely 
affected by the transfer of production to Mexico.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA-06070 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Williamson Dickie Manufacturing Company, McAllen 
9, McAllen, Texas (NAFTA-06070) and Williamson Dickie 
Manufacturing Company, Weslaco, Texas (NAFTA-6070A) who became 
totally or partially separated from employment on or after April 9, 
2001, through July 2, 2004, are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA 
under Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 4th day of October, 2002.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
