DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-57,810]


Stone Apparel, a Subsidiary of Stone International, LLC; 
Industrias Orion S.A. DE C.V.; Columbia, SC; 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 section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as 
amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility 
to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade 
Adjustment Assistance on September 16, 2005, applicable to workers of 
Stone Apparel, a subsidiary of Stone International, LLC, Columbia, 
South Carolina. The notice was published in the Federal Register on 
October 31, 2005 (70 FR 62347).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers finished and 
distributed men's and boy's underwear.
    New information shows that in July 2005, Industrias Orion S.A. DE 
C.V. purchased the manufacturing operations of Stone Apparel, a 
subsidiary of Stone International, Columbia, South Carolina. Some 
workers separated from employment at the subject firm had their wages 
reported under the separate Unemployment Insurance (UI) tax account for 
Industrias Orion S.A. DE C.V., Columbia, South Carolina.
    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 Stone Apparel, a subsidiary of Stone International, LLC who 
were adversely affected by a shift in production to El Salvador.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-57,810 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ``All workers of Stone Apparel, a subsidiary of Stone 
International, LLC, Industrias Orion S.A. DE C.V., Columbia, South 
Carolina, who became totally or partially separated from employment 
on or after August 19, 2004, through September 16, 2007, 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 13th day of April 2006.
 Richard Church,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
