Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-36,891]


JPS Converter and Industrial Corp., a Subsidiary of JPS Textile, 
Inc., Borden Plant, Now Known as Chiquola Fabrics, LLC, Kingsport, 
Tennessee; Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply for 
Worker Adjustment Assistance

    In accordance with section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 USC 
2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to 
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on October 28, 1999, applicable 
to workers of JPS Converter and Industrial Corp., a Subsidiary of JPS 
Textile Group, Inc., Borden Plant, Kingsport, Tennessee. The notice was 
published in the Federal Register on December 2, 1999 (64 FR 67594).
    At the request of the petitioners, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged 
in the production of cotton and some cotton/polyester blend fabrics, 
primarily for book bindings.
    The company reports that in August, 1999, Chiquola Fabrics, LLC 
purchased the Borden Plant, Kingsport, Tennessee of JPS Converter and 
Industrial Corp. and is now known as Chiquola Fabrics, LLC.
    Information also shows that workers separated from employment at 
the subject firm, had their wages reported under a separate 
unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for Chiquola Fabrics, LLC.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification 
determination to properly reflect this matter.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of JPS Converter and Industrial Corp., a Subsidiary of JPS 
Textile Group, Inc., Borden Plant, now known as Chiquola Fabrics, LLC 
who were adversely affected by increased imports.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-36,891 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of JPS Converter and Industrial Corp., a Subsidiary 
of JPS Textile Group, Inc., Borden Plant, now known as Chiquola 
Fabrics, LLC, Kingsport, Tennessee who become totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after September 22, 1998, through 
October 28, 2001, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance 
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC this 26th day of November, 2001.
Edward A. Tomchick,
Director, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
