Oxford Industries, Incorporated; Oxford Women's Catalog and 
Special Markets Division, Alma, GA; Oxford of Giles, Pearisburg, VA; 
Oxford of Gaffney, Gaffney, SC; 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 December 21, 1997, applicable to 
workers of Oxford Women's Catalog and Special Markets Division of 
Oxford Industries, Incorporated located in Alma, Georgia. The notice 
was published in the Federal Register on January 22, 1998 (63 FR 3352).
    At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The company reports that 
layoffs will occur at Oxford Industries, Incorporated locations in 
Pearisburg, Virginia where the workers produce ladies knit apparel, and 
in Gaffney, South Carolina where the workers produce jackets and 
outerwear.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Oxford Industries, Incorporated adversely affected by 
increased imports from Mexico. Accordingly, the Department is amending 
the certification to include workers of Oxford Industries, Incorporated 
locations in Pearisburg, Virginia and Gaffney, South Carolina.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA-02048 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Oxford Industries, Incorporated, Oxford Women's 
Catalog and Special Markets Division, Alma, Georgia (NAFTA-02048), 
Oxford of Giles, Pearisburg, Virginia (NAFTA-02048A), Oxford of 
Gaffney, Gaffney, South Carolina (NAFTA-02048B) who became totally 
or partially separated from employment on or after November 24, 1996 
through December 21, 1999, are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under
