Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) the Department Labor issued a Certification of
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on January
31, 2001, applicable to workers of Fernbrook #2. Palmerton,
Pennsylvania. The notice was published in the Federal Register
on March 2, 2001 (66 FR 13086).
At the request of the petitioners, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
were engaged in the production of ladies' pants.
New information shows that worker separations occurred at
Plant #1 of Fernbrook and Co., Palmerton, Pennsylvania. The
workers are engaged in employment related to the production of
pants and shorts.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification
to cover workers of Fernbrook and Co., Plant #1, Palmerton,
Pennsylvania.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include
all workers of Fernbrook and Co. adversely affected by increased
imports.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-38,283 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Fernbrook and Co., Plant #2, Palmerton,
Pennsylvania (TA-W-38,283) and Plant #1, Palmerton,
Pennsylvania (TA-W-38,283A) who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after October 23, 1999,
through January 31, 2003, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974."

Signed at Washington D.C. this 14th day of August, 2001.
