Haggar Clothing Company, TA-W-33,153, a/k/a Brownsville 
Manufacturing Company, A/K/A McKinney Pant Manufacturing Company, 
Brownsville, Texas, et al.; 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 
February 21, 1997, applicable to workers of Haggar Clothing Company, 
also known as Brownsville Manufacturing Company, and also known as 
McKinney Pant Manufacturing Company located in Brownsville, Texas. The 
notice was published in the Federal Register on March 21, 1997 (62 FR 
13710).
    At the request of a company official, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. Findings on review show 
that worker separations have occurred at the subject firm's Edinburgh 
and Weslaco, Texas locations. The workers produce men's dress and 
casual pants. The company reports that worker separations have also 
occurred at the subject firm's Weslaco Cutting Center in Weslaco, 
Texas.
    Workers of the Haggar Clothing Company production facilities in 
Edinburg and Weslaco, Texas were covered under previous TAA 
certifications, TA-W-30,850A and TA-W-30,850B, respectively. These 
certifications expired on May 11, 1997. Workers at the subject firm's 
Weslaco Cutting Center in Weslaco were not covered under TA-W-30,850B.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Haggar Clothing Company who were affected by increased 
imports. Accordingly, the Department is amending the worker 
certification to include the workers of Haggar Clothing Company in 
Edinburgh and Weslaco, Texas, and include workers at the Weslaco 
Cutting Center in Weslaco, Texas.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-33,153 is hereby issued as 
follows:

``All workers of Haggar Clothing Company, also known as Brownsville 
Manufacturing, also known as McKinney Pant Manufacturing Company, 
Brownsville, Texas (TA-W-33,153) and Haggar Clothing Company, 
Weslaco Cutting Center, Weslaco, Texas (TA-W-33,153C) who became 
totally or partially separated from employment on or after January 
13, 1996, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under 
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974;'' and

``I further determine that all workers of Haggar Clothing Company, 
Edinburg Manufacturing Company, also known as Waxahachie Garment 
Company, Edinburg, Texas (NAFTA-01471A) and Haggar Clothing Company, 
Weslaco Manufacturing Company, also known as Bowie Manufacturing 
Company, Weslaco, Texas (NAFTA-01471B), who become totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after June 7, 1997, are 
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 250 of the 
Trade Act of 1974.''

    Signed at Washington, D.C. this 29th day of May 1997.
Russell T. Kile,
Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of Trade 
Adjustment Assistance.
