DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration
[TA-W-31, 736, 736A, 736B, 736C]


Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Workers 
Adjustment Assistance

    Bayer Clothing Group, Inc., Clearfield, Pennsylvania; Bayer 
Clothing Group, Inc., Hyde, Pennsylvania; Bayer Clothing Group, 
Inc., New Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Kent Sportswear, Inc., 
Curwensville, Pennsylvania.
    In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 USC 
2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to 
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on March 1, 1996, applicable to 
all workers of Bayer Clothing Group, Inc., located in Clearfield, 
Pennsylvania. The notice was published in the Federal Register on March 
19, 1996 (61 FR 11224).

    At the request of the petitioner, UNITE, the Department reviewed 
the certification for workers of the subject firm. Union officials 
report that two of the subject firms' production facilities of the 
subject firm were excluded from the worker certification, the Hyde 
Plant and the New Philadelphia Plant. The workers produce men's 
sportcoats and suit coats. Also excluded was Kent Sportswear, Inc. 
located in Curwensville, Pennsylvania, a contractor engaged in sew, 
press and finish operations for the Bayer Clothing Group, Inc.

    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Bayer Clothing Group, Inc., who were adversely affected by 
increased imports of apparel. Accordingly, the Department is amending 
the certification to include workers of the subject firm locations in 
Hyde and New Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and workers of Kent Sportwear, 
Inc., located in Curwensville, Pennsylvania.

    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-31,736 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ``All workers of Bayer Clothing Group, Inc., located in 
Clearfield, Pennsylvania (TA-W-31,736); Hyde, Pennsylvania (TA-W-
31,736A); and New Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (TA-W-31,736B); and 
workers of Kent Sportswear, Inc., Curwensville, Pennsylvania (TA-W-
31,736C) who became totally or partially separated from employment 
on or after December 11, 1994, are eligible to apply for adjustment 
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.''

    Signed at Washington, D.C. this 29th day of April 1996.

Russell T. Kile,

Acting Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of 
Trade Adjustment Assistance.
