DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration
[NAFTA--01482 and 01482B]


Singer Furniture Company; Lenoir and Roanoke, Virginia; Amended 
Certification Regarding Eligibility to Apply for NAFTA Transitional 
Adjustment Assistance

    In accordance with Section 250(a), Subchapter 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 
April 17, 1997, applicable to all workers of Singer Furniture Company, 
Lenoir and Chocowinity, North Carolina. The notice was published in the 
Federal Register on May 9, 1997 (62 FR 25660).
    At the request of the petitioners, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. New findings show that 
worker separations occurred during the past year at Singer Furniture 
Company, Roanoke, Virginia. The workers are engaged in employment 
related to the production of household furniture.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to cover 
workers at the subject firms' Roanoke, Virginia location. Also, the 
impact date is being changed from February 19, 1996 to February 4, 
1996.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Singer Furniture Company adversely affected by imports from 
Mexico.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA--01482 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Singer Furniture Company, Lenoir, North Carolina 
(NAFTA--01482) and Roanoke, Virginia (NAFTA--01482B) who became 
totally or partially separated from employment on or after February 
4, 1996 are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 of the 
Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, D.C. this 18th day of July 1997.
Curtis K. Kooser,
Acting Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of 
Trade Adjustment Assistance.
