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). 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 was published in the Federal Register 
on May 5, 1998 (62 FR 24826-28).
    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, 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 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 May 13, 1996 through August 7, 1999 are eligible to apply for 
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed in Washington, DC this 30th day of July, 1998.
Grant D. Beale,
Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
