DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration


American Tourister, A/K/A Samsonite; TA-W-32,492, Jacksonville, 
Florida; TA-W-32,493, Warren, Rhode Island; Amended Certification 
Regarding Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

    In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 
2273) the Department of Labor issued a Notice of Certification 
Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on 
August 21, 1996, applicable to workers of American Tourister located in 
Jacksonville, Florida and Warren, Rhode Island. The notice was 
published in the Federal Register on September 13, 1996 (61 FR 48504).
    At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. New findings show that 
American Tourister is a division of Samsonite. Some of the workers at 
the subject firms' production facilities have had their UI taxes 
reported to the UI tax account for Samsonite.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of American Tourister who were affected by increased imports. 
Accordingly, the Department is amending the worker certification to 
include Samsonite.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-32,492 and TA-W-32,493 is 
hereby issued as follows:

    All workers of American Tourister also known as Samsonite, 
Jacksonville, Florida (TA-W-32,492) and Warren, Rhode Island (TA-W-
32,493), who became totally or partially separated from employment 
on or after June 11, 1995, are eligible to apply for adjustment 
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, D.C. this 22nd day of November 1996.
Russell T. Kile,
Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of Trade 
Adjustment Assistance.
