[TA-W-39,565A]


Thomaston Mills, Inc., Finishing Division, Thomaston, GA; 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 Notice of Determination 
Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on 
November 15, 2001, applicable to workers of Thomaston Mills, Inc., 
Finishing Division, Finishing Consumer Department, Thomaston, Georgia 
engaged in the production of sheets, pillowcases and comforters and 
related accessories. All workers of Thomaston Mills, Inc., Finishing 
Division, Finishing Apparel Department, Thomaston, Georgia were denied 
eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance. The notice was 
published in the Federal Register on November 30, 2001 (66 FR 59817).
    At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. Findings show that the 
Department limited its certification coverage to workers of the subject 
firms's Finishing Consumer Department in the Finishing Division engaged 
in the production of sheets, pillowcases and comforters and related 
accessories. The workers employed in the Finishing Apparel Department 
were denied eligibility because they did not meet the group eligibility 
requirements of the Trade Act. The company provides new information 
indicating that the workers are not separately identifiable within the 
Finishing Division.
    It is the intent of the Department to include ``all workers'' of 
Thomaston Mills, Inc., Finishing Division, Thomaston, Georgia adversely 
affected by increased imports.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification 
determination to include all workers in the Finishing Division.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-39,565A is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Thomaston Mills, Inc., Finishing Division, 
Thomaston, Georgia who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on after June 20, 2000, through November 15, 2003, are 
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the 
Trade Act of 1974.


    Signed at Washington, DC this 6th day of December, 2001.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
