[TA-W-54,048A and TA-W-54,048D]


Westpoint Stevens, Lanier Facility, Bed Products Division, 
Valley, AL, and Westpoint Stevens, Sheeting Division Office, Opelika, 
AL; 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 February 19, 2004, applicable to workers of WestPoint 
Stevens, Lanier Facility, Bed Products Division, Valley, Alabama. The 
notice was published in the Federal Register on March 12, 2004 (69 FR 
11889).
    At the request of the company official, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers of the 
firm's Bed Products Division produced sheeting materials.
    New information submitted by the company demonstrates that workers 
in the WestPoint Stevens, Sheeting Division Office, Opelika, Alabama, 
provided administrative support for the firm's production of sheeting 
at the Lanier Plant in Valley, Alabama which has ceased production. 
When filing the petition, the company official inadvertently failed to 
include workers in the Sheeting Division Office, Opelika, Alabama, in 
support of the Lanier Plant production.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of the firm who were adversely affected by increased imports.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification to 
include workers of the Sheeting Division Office of the subject firm in 
Opelika, Alabama.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-54,048A is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of WestPoint Stevens, Lanier Facility, Bed Products 
Division, Valley, Alabama (TA-W-54,048A), and WestPoint Stevens, 
Sheeting Division Office, Opelika, Alabama, who became totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after January 15, 2003, 
through February 19, 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 at Washington, DC this 6th day of April 2005.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
