    In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 
2273) the Department Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to 
Apply for Adjustment Assistance on February 2, 1998, applicable to all

    At the request of the petitioners, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The company reports that 
Maidenform's production facilities in Puerto Rico are known as 
``Maidenform Worldwide, Inc.''. Worker separations have occurred at the 
following Puerto Rico locations: Anasco, Rincon, Mayagues and Juana 
Diaz. Separations at these locations began in early 1998 and will 
continue through April 1998. The workers are engaged in employment 
related to the production of women's intimate apparel.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Maidenform Worldwide, Inc. adversely affected by increased 
imports of women's intimate apparel.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-33,779 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Maindenform Worldwide, Inc., Caguas, Puerto Rico

Rico (TA-W-33-779C), Mayagues, Puerto Rico (TA-W-33-779D) and Juana

employment on or after August 21, 1996 through February 2, 2000 are 
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the 
Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington DC, this 16th day of April 1998.
