Hanesbrands, Inc., National Textiles, LLC, Eden Division, Eden, 
North Carolina, and Forest City Division, Forest City, North Carolina; 
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 13, 2007, applicable to workers of 
Hanesbrands, Inc., Eden, North Carolina and Hanesbrands, Inc., Forest 
City Division, Forest City, North Carolina. 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 were engaged 
in the production of laminated fabric and fabric components.
    New information shows that Hanesbrands, Inc. purchased National 
Textiles, LLC in June 2006. Workers separated from employment at the 
Eden Division, Eden, North Carolina and the Forest City Division, 
Forest City, North Carolina locations of the subject firm had their 
wages reported under separate unemployment insurance (UI) tax account 
for National Textiles, LLC.
    Findings also show that there was a previous certification, TA-W-
55,365, issued on September 13, 2006, for the workers of the Forest 
City Division, Forest City, North Carolina. That certification expired 
September 13, 2006. To avoid an overlap in worker group coverage for 
workers of the Forest City, North Carolina location, the certification 
is being amended to change the impact date from August 7, 2006 to 
September 14, 2006.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to 
properly reflect these matters.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Hanesbrands, Inc. who were adversely affected by a shift in 
production of laminated fabric and fabric components to El Salvador, 
the Dominican Republic and Honduras.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-61,962K and TA-W-61,962L are 
hereby issued as follows:

    ``All workers of Hanesbrands, Inc., National Textiles, LLC, Eden 
Division, Eden, North Carolina (TA-W-61,962K), who became totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after August 7, 2006 
through September 13, 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;'' and
    ``All workers of Hanesbrands, Inc., National Textiles, LLC, 
Forest City Division, Forest City, North Carolina (TA-W-61,962L), 
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or 
after September 14, 2006, through September 13, 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 December 2007.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
