Regarding Eligibility to Apply for NAFTA-Transitional Adjustment 
Assistance

    In accordance with Section 250(A), Subchapter D, Chapter 2, Title 
II, of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273), the Department of Labor 
issued a Certification 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 (FR 48889). The certification was 
subsequently amended to include subject firm workers at various 
facilities and offices and contract workers at facilities where the 
subject firm's workers had been previously certified.
    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 occurred at two companies; 
El Paso Physical Therapy Services and J and L Enterprises, performing 
contract services for Levi Strauss's previously certified production 
facilities; the Pellicano Finishing Facility, El Paso, Texas and the 
Amarillo Finishing Plant, Amarillo, Texas. Based on this new 
information, the Department is Amending the certification to cover 
workers at El Paso Physical Therapy Services, El Paso, Texas and J and 
L Enterprises, Amarillo, Texas.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Levi Strauss and Company who were adversely affected by 
increased imports.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA 01807 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Levi Strauss and Company, including Dockers and 
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:
