DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[NAFTA--02738A]


Talon, Inc., Division of Coats North America, Lake City, SC; 
Including Temporary Workers of Will Staff Personnel Services, 
Greenville, SC; Amended Certification 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 USC 2273), the Department of Labor 
issued a Certification for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance on 
December 11, 1998, applicable to workers of Talon, Inc., Division of 
Coats North America, Lake City, South Carolina. The notice was 
published in the Federal Register on December 23, 1998 (63 FR 71166).
    At the request of the States agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. New information provided 
by the State shows that some workers separated from employment at 
Talon, Inc. had their wages reported under a separate unemployment 
insurance (UI) tax account at Will Staff Personnel Services. Workers 
from Will Staff Personnel Services produced zippers at the Lake City, 
South Carolina location of Talon, Inc.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending the 
certification to include workers from Will Staff Personnel Services, 
Greenville, South Carolina who were engaged in the production of 
zippers at Talon, Inc., Lake City, South Carolina.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Talon, Inc, Division of Coats North America adversely 
affected by the shift of production to Mexico.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA--02738A is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ``All workers of Talon, Inc., Division of Coats North America, 
Lake City, South Carolina (NAFTA--2738A), including temporary 
workers of Will Staff Personnel Services, Greenville, South 
Carolina, engaged in employment related to the production of zippers 
for Talon, Inc., Division of Coats North America, Lake City, South 
Carolina who became totally or partially separated from employment 
on or after November 16, 1997 through December 11, 2000 are eligible 
to apply for NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.
