Wilkins Industries, Inc.; McRae, GA; Jefferson, GA; and New York 
Sales Office, New York, NY; 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 30, 2001, applicable to workers of Wilkins Industries, Inc., 
McRae, GA. The notice was published in the Federal Register on May 2, 
2001 (66 FR 22008).
    At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The company reports that 
worker separations occurred at the Jefferson, Georgia and the New York 
Sales Office, New York, New York locations of Wilkins Industries, Inc. 
The Jefferson, Georgia workers are engaged in the production of women's 
jeanswear. The New York Sales Office workers provide sales, designing 
and marketing function services for the subject firm's production 
facilities including McRae, Georgia.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending the 
certification to include workers of Wilkins Industries, Inc., 
Jefferson, Georgia and the New York Sales Office, New York, New York.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Wilkins Industries, Inc., who were adversely affected by a 
shift of production of women's jeanswear to Mexico.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA-04602 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Wilkins Industries, Inc., McRae, Georgia (NAFTA-
04602), Jefferson, Georgia (NAFTA-04602B) and New York Sales Office, 
New York, New York (NAFTA-04602C) who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after February 24, 2001, through 
March 30, 2003, are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under section 
250 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Dated: Signed at Washington, DC, this 26th of October, 2001.
