DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
[NAFTA-00444B]


Haggar Clothing Company; Weslaco Manufacturing Company, A/K/A 
Bowie Manufacturing Company, A/K/A Weslaco Sewing, Weslaco, Texas; 
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 Notice of Amended Certification of Eligibility to 
Apply for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance on April 19, 1996, 
applicable to all workers of Weslaco Manufacturing Company, a/k/a Bowie 
Manufacturing Company, Weslaco, Texas. The notice will soon be 
published in the Federal Register.
    At the request of the State Agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers produce 
men's pants and coats. The State Agency reports that some of the 
workers separated from the subject firm had their unemployment 
insurance (UI) taxes paid to Weslaco Sewing. Accordingly, the 
Department is again amending the certification to include Weslaco 
Sewing.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of the Haggar Clothing Company who were adversely affected by 
increased imports from Mexico or Canada.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA-00444 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of workers of Haggar Clothing Company, Weslaco 
Manufacturing Company, a/k/a Bowie Manufacturing Company, a/k/a 
Weslaco Sewing, Weslaco, Texas (NAFTA-00444B) who became totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after April 27, 1994 are 
eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 of the Trade Act 
of 1974.
