DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Footwear Management Co.; Amended Certification Regarding 
Eligibility to Apply for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance

    In the matter of: NAFTA--00252 Tony Lama Division, El Paso, 
Texas, NAFTA--00252A Justin Boot Company, Fort Worth, Texas, NAFTA--
00252B Justin Boot Company, Cassville, Missouri, and NAFTA--00252C 
Nacona Boot Company, Nacona, Texas.

    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 for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment 
Assistance on November 14, 1994, applicable to all workers of the 
subject firm in El Paso, Texas. The certification notice was published 
in the Federal Register on December 9, 1994 (59 FR 68324).
    At the request of the company the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm.
    The investigation findings show that workers of Footwear Management 
Company's Justin Boot Company in Fort Worth, Texas and Cassville, 
Missouri and the Nacona Boot Company in Nacona, Texas had the same boot 
customers as the Tony Lama Division.
    The investigation findings show workers separations in 1994 at the 
Justin Boot Company in Fort Worth, Texas and Cassville, Missouri and at 
the Nacona Boot Company in Nacona, Texas. Other findings show decreased 
sales and production at the Justin Boot Company and the Nacona Boot 
Company of the Footwear Management Company.
    The Department's survey of major declining customers of the Tony 
Lama Division of Footwear Management Company revealed that the 
respondents increased their imports of western style footwear from 
Canada and Mexico in the first nine months of 1994 compared to the same 
period in 1993 while reducing their purchases from the subject firm 
during the same period.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers who were adversely affected by increased imports. Accordingly, 
the Department is amending the certification to properly reflect this 
matter.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA--00252 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ``All workers of the Tony Lama Division of Footwear Management 
Company, located in El Paso, Texas and all workers of the Justin 
Boot Company of Footwear Management Company in Fort Worth, Texas and 
Cassville, Missouri and all workers of the Nacona Boot Company in 
Nacona, Texas who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after December 8, 1993 are eligible to apply for 
NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.''

    Signed in Washington, DC, this 21st day of December, 1994.
Victor J. Trunzo,
Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of Trade 
Adjustment Assistance.
