Maxxim Medical, Inc., Honea Path, SC; Amended Certification 
Regarding Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and 
Alternative Trade 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, and

[[Page 66497]]

under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), a Negative 
Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Alternative Trade 
Adjustment Assistance on October 14, 2003, applicable to workers of 
Maxxim Medical, Inc., Honea Path, South Carolina. The notice will be 
published soon in the Federal Register.
    At the request of a company official, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged 
in the production of surgical gloves.
    Company information received during the Department's investigation 
stated that workers engaged in the production of surgical gloves at the 
plant possess skills that are easily transferable. New information 
provided by the company states that workers at the subject firm require 
skills that are unique to the surgeon glove manufacturing process. 
Therefore, workers' skills are not easily transferable.
    Review of this information shows that all eligibility criteria 
under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as amended 
have been met.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-52,959 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Maxxim Medical, Inc., Honea Path, South Carolina, 
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or 
after September 19, 2002 through October 14, 2005, are eligible to 
apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act 
of 1974 and are also eligible to apply for alternative trade 
adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 6th day of November, 2003.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
