DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-41,874A and TA-W-41,874B]


Sebago, Inc., Now Known as Sebago USA, LLC, a Wholly Owned 
Subsidiary of Wolverine Worldwide, Westbrook, ME, and Gorham, ME; 
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 Certification of Eligibility to 
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on September 30, 2002, 
applicable to workers of Sebago, Inc., Westbrook, Maine and Gorham, 
Maine. The notice was published in the Federal Register on October 22, 
2002 (67 FR 64923).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged 
in the production of men's and women's footwear.
    New information shows that Wolverine Worldwide purchased the 
Westbrook, Maine and Gorham, Maine locations of Sebago, Inc. and is now 
known as Sebago USA, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Wolverine 
Worldwide. Workers separated from employment at the Westbrook, Maine 
and Gorham, Maine locations of the subject firm had their wages 
reported under a separate unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for 
Sebago USA, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Wolverine Worldwide.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to 
properly reflect this matter.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Sebago, Inc., now known as Sebago USA, LLC, a wholly owned 
subsidiary of Wolverine Worldwide, Westbrook, Maine, and Gorham, Maine, 
who were adversely affected by increased imports.
