DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-58,503]


Kentucky Derby Hosiery Company Currently Known as Gildan Inc., 
Plant 8; Hillsville, 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), 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 January 20, 2006, applicable to all workers of 
Kentucky Derby Hosiery Company, Plant 8 located in Hillsville, 
Virginia. The notice was published in the Federal Register on February 
3, 2006 (71 FR 5894-5896).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers produce knit 
socks.
    New information provided by the State and a company official 
confirm that the subject firm was sold to Gildan Inc. in July 2006 and 
workers continued to produce knit socks. Furthermore, worker 
separations have occurred under the new ownership. Accordingly, the 
Department is amending the certification to reflect the successor 
firm's name.
    It is the Department's intent to provide coverage to all workers of 
the subject firm adversely affected by increased imports.
