[Docket No. NAFTA-03838 and NAFTA-03838A]


Rugged Sportswear, Siler City, North Carolina; Rugged Sportswear, 
Walstonburg, North Carolina; Amended Certification Regarding 
Eligibility to Apply for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance

    In accordance with section 250(a), Subchapter 2, Title II, of the 
Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2273), the Department of Labor 
issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for NAFTA Transitional 
Adjustment Assistance on May 30, 2000, applicable to workers of Rugged 
Sportswear, Siler City, North Carolina. The notice was published in the 
Federal Register on June 8, 2000 (65 FR 36470).
    At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. New information shows 
that worker separations occurred at the 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 all 
workers of Rugged Sportswear who were adversely affected by a shift of 
production to Mexico.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA-03838 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ``All workers of Rugged Sportswear, Siler City, North Carolina 
(NAFTA-03838) and Walstonburg, North Carolina (NAFTA-03838A) who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
March 31, 1999 through May 30, 2002 are eligible to apply for NAFTA-
TAA under Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.''


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