[TA-W-61,921]


Whaling Mfg. Co., Inc., Currently Known as Whaling Distributors, 
Inc., Fall River, MA; 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 Regarding 
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative 
Trade Adjustment Assistance on August 20, 2007, applicable to workers 
of Whaling Mfg. Co., Inc., Fall River, Massachusetts. The notice was 
published in the Federal Register on September 11, 2007 (72 FR 51845).
    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 outerwear and uniforms, including raincoats, 
jackets, and police uniforms.
    New information shows that following a change in ownership in July 
2008, Whaling Mfg. Co., Inc. is currently known as Whaling 
Distributors, Inc. The workers wages at the subject firm are being 
reported under the Unemployment Insurance (UI) tax account for Whaling 
Distributors, Inc.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification to show 
that Whaling Mfg. Co., Inc. is currently known as Whaling Distributors, 
Inc.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Whaling Mfg. Co., Inc., who were adversely affected by 
increased imports following a shift in production to Portugal, China 
and Vietnam.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-61,921 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Whaling Mfg. Co., Inc., currently known as 
Whaling Distributors, Inc., Fall River, Massachusetts, who became 
totally or partially separated from employment on or after June 2, 
2007, through August 20, 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 2nd day of October 2008.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
