Levi Strauss and Company; Goodyear Cutting Facility and El Paso 
Field Headquarters, El Paso, Texas; Fayetteville, Arkansas; Harrison, 
Arkansas; Dallas CF Regional Office, Dallas, 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 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 and the company, the Department 
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. New 
information submitted by the company shows that worker separations will 
occur at the Levi Strauss and Company production facilities located in 
Fayetteville and Harrison, Arkansas. The company also reports layoffs 
at the Dallas CF Regional Office in Dallas, Texas. The workers at these 
three locations 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 firm's workers in Fayetteville and Harrison, Arkansas, and 
Dallas, Texas.
    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), Fayetteville, Arkansas (NAFTA-01807Y), Harrison, Arkansas 
(NAFTA-01807Z) and Dallas, Texas (NAFTA-01807AA) 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.
