DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

 
Levi Strauss & Company; 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 U.S.C. 2273), the 
Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for 
NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance on August 7, 1997, applicable 
to workers of Levi Strauss and Company, located in El Paso, Texas. The 
notice was published in the Federal Register on September 17, 1997 (62 
FR 48889). The certification was subsequently amended to include the 
subject firm workers at the El Paso Field Headquarters in El Paso, 
Texas. The amendment was issued on September 14, 1997 and published in 
the Federal Register on September 30, 1997 (62 FR 51161).
    At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. New information received 
by the company shows that worker separations for those workers engaged 
in the manufacture of Dockers have also occurred, as well as 
separations from companies doing contract work at these Levi Strauss 
locations. Based on this new information, the Department is amending 
the certification to cover the subject firm's Docker workers as well as 
contract workers at the approved Levi Strauss facilities.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Levi Strauss and Company, including contract workers, who 
were adversely affected by increased imports from Mexico.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA-01807 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Levi Strauss and Company, including Dockers and 
temporary or contract workers at the following facilities, who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
July 9, 1996 through August 7, 1999 are eligible to apply for NAFTA-
TAA under Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974:

    Signed in Washington, DC this 15th day of April, 1998.
