    In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C.

    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the

    New information shows that a worker separation has occurred 
involving an employee of the Sales and Marketing Office, New York, New 
York of WestPoint Home, Inc., formerly WestPoint Stevens, Inc. located 
in Seneca, South Carolina. Mr. Gerry Bednar provided various support 
services for the manufacture of comforters, sheets, pillowcases, towels 
and blankets produced by WestPoint Home, Inc., formerly WestPoint 
Stevens, Inc.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending this 
certification to include an employee of the Sales and Marketing Office 
New York, New York facility of WestPoint Home, Inc., formerly WestPoint 
Stevens, Inc. located in Seneca, South Carolina.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of WestPoint Home, Inc., formerly WestPoint Stevens, Inc., 
Sales and Marketing Office, New York, New York who were adversely 
affected by increased company and customer imports.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-58,623L is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of WestPoint Home, Inc., formerly WestPoint Stevens, 
Inc., Sales and Marketing Office, New York, New York (TA-W-58,623L),

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.
