    In accordance with Section 250(a), Subchapter D, Chapter 2, Title 
II, of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2273), the 
Department of Labor issued a Certificate 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). 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 
19, 1997 (62 FR 66393). The certification was subsequently amended to 
include the subject firm workers at a facility in Miami Lakes, Florida 
and temporary and contract workers at various facilities where the 
subject firm's workers had been previously certified eligible to apply 
for assistance. This amendment was issued on April 15, 1998 and will be 
published soon in the Federal Register.
    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 Levi Strauss denims and Dockers have also 
occurred. Based on this new information, the Department is amending the 
certification to cover additional workers at the subject firm.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Levi Strauss and Company, including contract workers, who 
were adversely affected by increased imports from Mexico.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA-01807 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Levi Strauss and Company at the Wichita Falls 
Production Plant in Wichita Falls, Texas, the McAllen Production 
Plant in McAllen, Texas, the Atlanta CF Regional/Sales Office in 
Atlanta, Georgia, the Johnson City Production Plant in Johnson City, 
Tennessee, and the San Francisco Office in San Francisco, California 
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or 
after July 9, 1996 through August 7, 1999 are eligible to apply for 
NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.
