Cone Mills Corporation, Carlisle Plant Division, Carlisle, South 
Carolina; Cone Mills Corporation, Cone Rutherford County, LLC Division, 
Cliffside, North Carolina; Cone Mills Corporation, Cone White Oak, LLC 
Division, and Corporate Headquarters, Greensboro, North Carolina; Cone 
Mills Corporation, Salisbury Plant, Salisbury, North Carolina; 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), and under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, the 
Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility To Apply for 
Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade Adjustment 
Assistance on December 3, 2003, applicable to workers of Cone Mills 
Corporation, Carlisle Plant Division located in Carlisle, South 
Carolina, Cone Rutherford County, LLC Division located in Cliffside, 
North Carolina, and Cone White Oak, LLC Division located in Greensboro, 
North Carolina. The notice will soon be published in the Federal 
Register.
    At the request of a company official, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers of Cone 
Mills Corporation produce textiles. New information provided by a 
company official show that worker separations have occurred at the 
subject firm's corporate office in Greensboro, North Carolina, and at 
the company's warehouse in Salisbury, North Carolina.
    Workers at the corporate office and warehouse provide services in 
support of the production of textiles at the firm's Cone White Oak, LLC 
Division in Greensboro, North Carolina, as well as other Cone Mill 
Corporation plants, whose workers have been certified eligible to apply 
for adjustment assistance.
    Furthermore, the conclusion section of the certification omitted 
that workers are eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment 
assistance (ATAA) under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974, as 
amended.
    It is the Department's intent to include all workers of Cone Mills 
Corporation adversely affected by increased imports of textiles. 
Therefore, the Department is amending the certification to include 
workers of the Corporate Office in Greensboro, North Carolina, add 
workers of Cone Mills Corporation, Salisbury, North Carolina, and 
include for all locations worker eligibility to apply for ATAA.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-53,291 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ``All workers of Cone Mills Corporation, of Cone Mills 
Corporation, Carlisle Plant Division, Carlisle, South Carolina (TA-
W-53,291), Cone Mills Corporation, Cone Rutherford County, LLC 
Division, Cliffside, North Carolina (TA-W-53,291A), Cone Mills 
Corporation, Cone White Oak, LLC Division and Corporate 
Headquarters, Greensboro, North Carolina (TA-W-53,291B), and Cone 
Mills Corporation, Salisbury, North Carolina (TA-W-53,291C), who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
October 14, 2002, through December 3, 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, as 
amended.''
