Buster Brown Apparel, Inc., Garment Finishing Department 
Corporate Office, Central Distribution Center, Chattanooga, TN, 
Coeburn, VA, and Duffield, VA; 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 Certification of Eligibility to 
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on April 24, 1996, applicable to 
all workers of Buster Brown Apparel, Inc., Chattanooga, TN. The notice 
was published in the Federal Register on May 17, 1996 (61 FR 24960). 
The worker certification was amended July 1, 1996 and again on August 
13, 1996, to include other manufacturing facilities of the subject 
firm. Those notices were published in the Federal Register on July 12, 
1996 (61 FR 36759) and August 27, 1996 (61 FR 44078), respectively.
    At the request of a company official, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm.
    Based on new information received by the company, the Department is 
once again amending the certification. New findings show that worker 
separations have occurred at Buster Brown's Corporate Office and the 
Central Distribution Center in Chattanooga, TN and at a production 
facility in Duffield, VA. The company also reported that worker 
separations will occur at the Coeburn, VA production facility when it 
closes in April, 1997. The workers are engaged in employment related to 
the production of infants' and children's apparel.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Buster Brown Apparel, Inc. adversely affected by increased 
imports of infants' and children's apparel.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-32,260 is hereby issued as 
follows:

All workers of Buster Brown Apparel, Inc., Garment Finishing 
Department, Corporate Office and Central Distribution Center, 
Chattanooga, TN (TA-W-32,260), and Buster Brown Apparel, Inc., 
Coeburn, VA (TA-W-32,260C) and Duffield, VA (TA-W-32,260D) who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
April 15, 1995 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 March 1997.
Russell T. Kile,
Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of Trade 
Adjustment Assistance.
