Jansport, Incorporated and Burlington, WA, et al; 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 October 26, 1997, applicable 
to all workers of JanSport, Incorporated located in Burlington, 
Washington. The notice was published in the Federal Register on 
November 7, 1997 (62 FR 60279).
    At the request of petitioners, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. Information provided by 
the company official and the State agency show that worker separations 
will occur at JanSport's sewing operations in Everett, Washington and 
the production facility in Wenatchee, Washington. The workers are 
engaged in employment related to the production of backpacks and 
equipment products. Based on this new information, the Department is 
amending the certification to include workers at the sewing operations 
in Everett, Washington and the production facility in Wenatchee, 
Washington.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by increased 
imports.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-33, 876 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ``All workers of JanSport, Incorporated, Burlington, Washington 
(TA-W-33, 876); the Sewing Operations in Everett, Washington (TA-W-
33, 876A); and Wenatchee, Washington (TA-W-33. 876B), who became 
totally or partially separated from employment on or after September 
22, 1996 through October 26, 1999, are eligible to apply for 
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.''

    Signed at Washington, D.C. this 16th day of April, 1998.
Grant D. Beale,
Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
