[TA-W-37,571 and TA-W-37,517A]


Rugged Sportswear, Siler City, NC and Walstonburg, NC; Amended 
Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment 
Assistance

    In accordance with section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 
2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to 
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on May 30, 2000, applicable to 
workers of Rugged Sportswear, Siler City, North Carolina. The notice 
was published in

[[Page 82394]]

the Federal Register on June 29, 2000 (65 FR 40134).
    At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. New findings show that 
worker separations occurred at subject firms' Walstonburg, North 
Carolina facility when it closed in October, 2000. The workers were 
engaged in the production of sweat shirts, sweat pants and sweat 
shorts.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to 
include the workers at the Walstonburg, North Carolina location of 
Rugged Sportswear. The intent of the Department's certification is to 
include 11 workers of Rugged Sportswear who were adversely affected by 
increased imports.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-37,571 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Rugged Sportswear, Siler City, North Carolina 
(TA-W-37,571) and Walstonburg, North Carolina (TA-W-37,571A) who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
March 31, 1999 through May 30, 2002 are eligible to apply for 
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington DC this 15th day of December, 2000.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
