Including Sales and Marketing Employees of Coats American, Inc. 
Corporate Headquarters, Operating at Various Locations in the States 
of: Regional Manager Southwest, Texas and California; Regional Manager 
Northeast, Pennsylvania; Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility to

    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 March 15, 2004, applicable to workers of Coats American, 
Inc., Corporate Headquarters, Charlotte, North 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. New information shows 
that worker separations have occurred involving employees of the 
Charlotte, North Carolina facility of Coats American, Inc., Corporate 
Headquarters operating at various locations in the states of Texas, 
California and Pennsylvania. These employees provide sales and 
marketing support function services for the production of specialty 
thread and cocoon bobbins produced by the subject firm.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending this 
certification to include sales and marketing employees of the Coats 
American, Inc., Corporate Headquarters, Charlotte, North Carolina, 
operating at various locations in the States of Texas, California and 
Pennsylvania.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Coats American, Inc. who were adversely affected by a shift 
in production to Mexico. The amended notice applicable to TA-W-54,203B 
is hereby issued as follows:

    All workers of Coats American, Inc., Corporate Headquarters, 
Charlotte, North Carolina (TA-W-54,203B), including sales and 
marketing employees of Coats American, Inc., Corporate Headquarters, 
Charlotte, North Carolina, Regional Manager Southwest, operating at 
various locations in the states of Texas (TA-W-54,203C), California 
(TA-W-54,203D), and Regional Manager Northeast, Pennsylvania (TA-W-
54,203E), who became totally or partially separated from employment 
on or after February 3, 2003, through March 15, 2006, 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 in Washington, DC, this 21st day of April, 2004.
