In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on December
5, 2000, applicable to workers of Avoca Manufacturing, Avoca,
Pennsylvania. The notice was published in the Federal Register
on December 21, 2000 (65 FR 80457).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. New
information provided by the company shows that some employees of
Avoca Manufacturing, Avoca, Pennsylvania were leased from

produce children's clothing at the Avoca, Pennsylvania facility.
Information also show that workers separated from employment at
the subject firm had their wages reported under a separated
unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for Advanced Employee
Services, Inc.
 Based on these findings, the Department is amending the
certification to include workers of Advanced Employee Services,
Inc. Luzerne, Pennsylvania leased to Avoca Manufacturing, Avoca,
Pennsylvania.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-38,144 is hereby
issued as follows:

Pennsylvania and leased workers of Advanced Employee
Services, Inc., Luzerne, Pennsylvania who were engaged
in employment related to the production of children's

who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after September 15, 1999 through
December 5, 2002 are eligible to apply for adjustment
