Levi Strauss and Company; Goodyear Cutting Facility and El Paso 
Field Headquarters El Paso, Texas and San Benito, 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 USC 2273), the Department 
of Labor issued a

[[Page 65105]]

Certification of Eligibility to Apply for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment 
Assistance on August 7, 1997, applicable to workers of Levi Strauss and 
Company, located in El Paso, Texas. The notice was published in the 
Federal Register on September 17, 1997 (62 FR 48889). The certification 
was subsequently amended to include the subject firm workers at the El 
Paso Field Headquarters in El Paso, Texas. The amendment was issued on 
September 14, 1997 and published in the Federal Register on September 
30, 1997 (62 FR 51161).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. New information received 
by the State shows that worker separations have occurred at the San 
Benito, Texas plant of Levi Strauss and Company. The workers in San 
Benito 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 the 
subject firms' workers at the San Benito, Texas plant.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Levi Strauss and Company who were adversely affected by 
increased imports from Mexico of men's, women's and youth's denim jeans 
and jackets.
    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-
01807) and San Benito, Texas (NAFTA-01807X) who were engaged in 
employment related to the production of men's, women's and youth's 
denim jeans and jackets who became totally or partially separated 
from employment on or after July 9, 1996 are eligible to apply for 
NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed in Washington, D.C. this 10th day of November 1997.
Grant D. Beale,
Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
