DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration
[NAFTA-02016 and NAFTA-02016A]


Umbro International and Umbro North America, Fairbluff, NC and 
Greenville, SC; Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply 
for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance

    In accordance with Section 250(a), Subchapter 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 January 8, 1998, applicable to all workers of 
Umbro North America located in Fairbluff, North Carolina. The notice 
was published in the Federal Register on January 22, 1998 (63 FR 3352).
    At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The investigation 
findings show that Umbro International is the parent firm of Umbro 
North America. Findings also show that worker separations are expected 
to occur at the subject firm's Greenville, South Carolina location in 
March 1998 and continue through June 1998 when the entire company 
closes. The workers produce soccer shorts and jerseys as well as 
provide administrative and support function services for Umbro 
International. Also, the Department incorrectly limited the 
certification to ``all workers engaged in employment related to the 
production of soccer shorts and jerseys.''
    Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to cover 
workers at the Umbro International, Greenville, South Carolina.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include ``all 
workers'' of Umbro International, adversely affected by imports from 
Mexico and Canada.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA-02016 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Umbro International, Umbro North America, 
Fairbluff, North Carolina (NAFTA-02016) and Greenville, South 
Carolina (NAFTA-02016A) who became totally or partially separated 
from employment on or after October 28, 1996 through January 8, 1998 
are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 of the Trade 
Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, D.C. this 31st day of March 1998.
Grant D. Beale,
Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
