    In accordance with Section 250(a), Subchapter D, Chapter 2, Title 
II, of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 USC 2273), the Department 
of Labor issued a Certification 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 29, 1999 (64 
FR 52543). In addition, the Department denied eligibility for an 
additional eight Levi Strauss & Company facilities in Texas, Tennessee, 
and California because there had not been threats of employment loss at 
those facilities. The notice was also published in the Federal Register 
on September 29, 1999 (64 FR 52542).
    The company requested that the seven of the eight facilities 
(NAFTA-03325H through NAFTA-03325L, and NAFTA-03325N and O) which were 
previously denied be certified because of reduced work hours at each 
facility and provided information to indicate that workers had their 
work hours reduced by at least 20 percent. In addition, the company 
requested that contractors working full-time at all of the facilities 
also be included in the certification. The company also requested that 
an additional eleven facilities and work sites in seven states (Texas, 
Tennessee, California, Florida, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Nevada) be 
included as a result of additional layoff announcements.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Levi Strauss and Company, including full time contractors 
working at the identified facilities, who were adversely affected by 
increased imports of denim and Docker apparel from Mexico.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA-03325 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of the following Levi Strauss & Company facilities 
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or 
after August 8, 1999 through August 11, 2001 are eligible to apply 
for NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974:
