DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration
[NAFTA-01476 and NAFTA-1476A]


Sun Apparel, Incorporated, NAFTA-01476 (Concepcion Plant) El 
Paso, Texas and NAFTA-1476A (Armour Plant) El Paso, 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 U.S.C. 2273), the 
Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for 
NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance on March 21, 1997, applicable 
to all workers of Sun Apparel, Incorporated, Concepcion Plant in El 
Paso, Texas. The notice was published in the Federal Register on March 
31, 1997 (62 FR 15200).
    At the request of petitioners, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. Information provided by 
the State agency reveals that Sun Apparel has had worker separations at 
the Armour plant, El Paso, Texas, which is a sewing facility for the 
men's and women's jeans produced by the subject firm. Based on this 
information, the Department is amending the certification to include 
workers of the Armour plant of Sun Apparel in El Paso.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by increased 
imports of jeans from Mexico.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA-01476 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Sun Apparel, Incorporated, Concepcion Plant 
(NAFTA-01476) and Armour Plant (NAFTA-1476A), El Paso, Texas, who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
March 10, 1997, are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under Section 
250 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, D.C., this 26th day of August 1997.
Grant D. Beale,
Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
