DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-61,942]


Best Textiles International, Ltd, Formerly Known as Best 
Manufacturing, Cordele Division, Cordele, GA; 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 10, 2007, applicable to workers of 
Best Textiles International, Ltd, Cordele, Georgia. The notice was 
published in the Federal Register on September 27, 2007 (72 FR 54939).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged 
in the production of table linens, aprons and chef wear.
    New information shows that the subject firm originally named Best 
Manufacturing, Cordele Division, was renamed Best Textiles 
International, Ltd due to a change in ownership. Workers separated from 
employment at the subject firm had their wages reported under a 
separate unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for Best 
Manufacturing.
    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 Best Textiles International, Ltd who were adversely affected 
by increased company imports.
    Of note, the decision dated September 10, 2007 referenced that the 
workers were under an existing certification that expired on July 8, 
2005. However, the actual TAA expiration date should have been 
represented as July 8, 2007.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-61,942 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Best Textiles International, Ltd, formerly known 
as Best Manufacturing, Cordele Division, Cordele, Georgia, who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
July 9, 2007, through September 10, 2009, 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 11th day of October 2007.
Elliott S. Kushner
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
