DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[NAFTA-02847]


Sun Apparel of Texas, LTD Armour Plant Cutting Room and Laundry 
Facility El Paso, TX; 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 
March 22, 1999, applicable to workers of Sun Apparel of Texas, Ltd., 
Armour Plant Cutting Room, El Paso, Texas. The notice was published in 
the Federal Register on April 27, 1999 (64 FR 22649).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers were engaged 
in cutting fabric for the apparel industry. New information shows that 
worker separations occurred at the laundry facility of the subject firm 
and will continue until its closing in November, 2000. The workers 
provided laundry services supporting the cutting room operation which 
closed in 1999. The laundry facility workers were inadvertently omitted 
from the certification.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Sun Apparel of Texas, Ltd., Armour Plant Cutting Room who 
were adversely affected by increased imports from Mexico.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to 
include workers of Sun Apparel of Texas, Ltd., Armour Plant Cutting 
Room, and Laundry Facility, El Paso, Texas. The amended notice 
applicable to NAFTA-02847 is hereby issued as follows:

``All workers of Sun Apparel of Texas, Ltd., Armour Plant Cutting 
Room and Laundry Facility, El Paso, Texas who became totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after March 22, 1999 
through March 22, 2001 are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under 
Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.''

    Signed at Washington, DC this 10th day of October, 2000.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
