Haggar Clothing Company, et al.; 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 U.S.C. 2273), the 
Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for 
NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance on February 21, 1997, 
applicable to all workers of Haggar Clothing Company, also known as 
Brownsville Manufacturing Company, and also known as McKinney Pant 
Manufacturing Company located in

[[Page 32382]]

Brownsville, Texas. The notice was published in the Federal Register on 
March 21, 1997 (62 FR 13711).
    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 are covered under previous NAFTA-TAA 
certifications, NAFTA-00444A and NAFTA-00444B, respectively. These 
certifications will expire on June 7, 1997. Workers at the subject 
firm's Weslaco Cutting Center in Weslaco are not covered under NAFTA-
00444B.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Haggar Clothing Company who were affected by increased 
imports from Mexico or Canada. 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 NAFTA-01471 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 (NAFTA-01471) and Haggar Clothing Company, 
Weslaco Cutting Center, Weslaco, Texas (NAFTA-01471C), who became 
totally or partially separated from employment on or after January 
13, 1996, are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 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 (TA-W-33,153A) and Haggar Clothing Company, 
Weslaco Manufacturing Company, also known as Bowie Manufacturing 
Company, Weslaco, Texas (TA-W-33,153B), who became totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after May 11, 1997, 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 May 1997.
Russell T. Kile,
Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of Trade 
Adjustment Assistance.
