Levi Strauss & Company; Amended Certification Regarding 
Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

    In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 
2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to 
Apply for Worker 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 48888). The certification was subsequently amended to include the 
subject firm workers at 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 51155). The certification 
was subsequently amended to include the subject firm workers at 
facilities in Fayetteville and Harrison, Arkansas and the Dallas, Texas 
Regional Levi Strauss Office. This amendment was issued on December 9, 
1997 and published in the Federal Register on December 18, 1997 (62 FR 
66393).
    At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. New information received 
by the company shows that worker separations for those workers engaged 
in the manufacture of Dockers have also occurred, as well as 
separations from companies doing contract work at these Levi Strauss 
locations. Based on this new information, the Department is amending 
the certification to cover the subject firm' Docker workers as well as 
contract workers at the approved Levi Strauss facilities.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Levi Strauss and Company, as well as contract workers, who 
were adversely affected by increased imports.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-33,513 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Levi Strauss and Company, including Dockers and 
temporary or contract workers at the following facilities, who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
May 13, 1996 through August 7, 1999 are eligible to apply for 
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974:
