Employees of Jeanerette Mills, St. Martinville, Louisiana
NAFTA-01881A, Abbeville Mills, Division of Martin Mills, Inc., 
Including Former Employees of Jeanerette Mills, Abbeville, Louisiana

and

NAFTA-01881B, Port Barre Mills, Division of Martin Mills, Inc., 
Including Former Employees of Jeanerette Mills, Port Barre, 
Louisiana

    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 August 29, 1997, applicable 
to workers of Fruit of the Loom, Martin Mills, Inc., located in St. 
Martinville, Abbeville, and Port Barre, Louisiana. The notice will soon 
be published in the Federal Register.
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged 
in employment related to the production of T-shirts, briefs, boxers and 
layette. Findings on review show that some of the workers at the 
subject firm locations in Louisiana have had their wages reported to 
the separate Unemployment Insurance tax account for Jeanerette Mills, a 
subsidiary of Fruit of the Loom. Other new findings show that Martin 
Mills, Inc., in St. Martinville, Louisiana is doing business as St. 
Martinville Mills. Based on this new information, the Department is 
amending the certification to reflect these matters.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA-01881 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ``All workers of Fruit of the Loom, Martin Mills, Inc., doing 
business as St. Martinville Mills, including former employees of 
Jeanerette Mills, St. Martinville, Louisiana (NAFTA-01881), 
Abbeville Mills, Division of Martin Mills, Inc., including former 
employees of Jeanerette Mills, Abbeville, Louisiana (NAFTA-01881A), 
and Port Barre Mills, Division of Martin Mills Inc., including 
former employees of Jeanerette Mills, Port Barre, Louisiana (NAFTA-
01881B), who became totally or partially separated from employment 
on or after August 14, 1996, are eligible to apply for adjustment 
assistance under Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.''

    Signed in Washington, D.C. this 14th day of September 1997.
Grant D. Beale,
Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
