DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[NAFTA--03151]


A and M, Inc. d/b/a Homemaker North Charleston, 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 Department of Labor issued a Certification for NAFTA 
Transitional Adjustment Assistance on June 25, 1999, applicable to 
workers of Homemaker Industries, Inc. located in North Charleston, 
South Carolina. The notice was published in the Federal Register on 
July 20, 1999 (64 FR 38922).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged 
in the production of braided rugs. New information received from the 
company shows that on April 17, 2000, A and M, Inc. purchased Homemaker 
Industries, Inc. and became known as A and M Inc., d/b/a Homemaker. 
Information also shows that workers separated from employment at 
Homemaker Industries, Inc. had their wages reported under a separate 
unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for A and M, Inc., d/b/a 
Homemaker.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to 
properly reflect this matter.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Homemaker Industries, Inc. who were adversely affected by 
the shift of production to Mexico.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA--03151 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of A and M, Inc., d/b/a Homemaker, North Charleston, 
South Carolina who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after May 4, 1998 through June 25, 2001 are 
eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 of the Trade Act 
of 1974.


    Signed at Washington, D.C. this 27th day of April, 2000.
Grant D. Beale,
Program Manager, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
