    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 of August 7, 1997, applicable 
to workers of Levi Strauss and Company, in El Paso, Texas. The notice 
will be published soon in the Federal Register.
    At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The findings show that 
worker separations have occurred at the Kastrin street Plant and at the 
El Paso Field Headquarters, El Paso, Texas locations of Levi Strauss 
and Company. The Kastrin Street Plant is a sewing facility for Levi's 
manufacturing plants. The El Paso Filed Headquarters at 1440 Goodyear, 
in El Paso, Texas, is an administrative office servicing the western 
regional manufacturing facilities of Levi Strauss. The 1440 Goodyear 
location is also a cutting facility. The workers are engaged in 
employment related to the production of men's, women's and youth's 
denim jeans and jackets. Based on this new information, the Department 
is amending the certification to cover workers at the subject firm's 
Kastrin Street Plant and the El Paso Field Headquarters, El Paso, 
Texas.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Levi Strauss and Company who were adversely affected by 
imparts from Mexico.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA-01807 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ``All workers of Levi Strauss and Company, Goodyear Cutting 
Facility and El Paso Field Headquarters, El Paso, Texas (NAFTA-
