DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-53,324]


New River Industries, Inc. Including Temporary Workers of 
Southern Employment, Radford, VA; 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 Alternative Trade Adjustment 
Assistance on December 12, 2003, applicable to workers of New River 
Industries, Inc. located in Radford, Virginia. The notice will soon be 
published in the Federal Register.
    At the request of a petitioner, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers produce 
broadwoven fabric.
    The petitioner indicates that some workers separated from 
employment at the subject firm, prior to becoming permanent employees 
of New River Industries in Radford, Virginia, were working at the plant 
through a temporary employment service agency, Southern Employment.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to provide coverage 
to all workers at New River Industries, Radford, Virginia, who were 
adversely affected by increases in imports.
    Therefore, the Department is amending the certification to include 
temporary workers at the subject firm whose wages were reported to 
Southern Employment.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-53,324 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ``All workers of New River Industries, Inc., Radford, Virginia, 
and temporary workers of Southern Employment engaged in employment 
related to the production of broadwoven fabric at New River 
Industries, Inc., Radford, Virginia, who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after October 15, 2002, through 
December 12, 2005, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance 
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and alternative trade 
adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974, as 
amended.''

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 30th day of December 2003.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
