DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration
[NAFTA-01110 & 01110A]


Jolie Handbag, Incorporated; Hialeah, Florida and Laredo, 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 Certification for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment 
Assistance on July 26, 1996 applicable to all workers of Jolie Handbag, 
Incorporated in Hialeah, Florida. The notice was published in the 
Federal Register on August 26, 1996 (61 FR 43792).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. New findings show that 
worker separations occurred at Jolie Handbag's Laredo, Texas facility 
when it closed during April, 1997. The workers were engaged in 
employment related to the production of ladies' handbags.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to cover 
workers at the subject firms' Laredo, Texas location.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Jolie Handbag who were adversely affected by increased 
imports from Mexico or Canada.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA-01110 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Jolie Handbag, Hialeah, Florida (NAFTA-01110), 
and Laredo, Texas (NAFTA-01110A) who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after May 11, 1995, are eligible to 
apply for NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, D.C. this 22d day of May, 1997.
Russell T. Kile,
Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of Trade 
Adjustment Assistance.
