A-1 MANUFACTURING, INC.
GARMENT CORPORATION OF AMERICA
BRILLIANT, ALABAMA

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 of Labor issued a Certification of
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on June 29,
2001, applicable to workers of A-1 Manufacturing, Inc.,
Brilliant, Alabama. The notice was published in the Federal
Register on July 20, 2001 (66 FR 38026).
At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers were
engaged in the production of rental uniforms, such as coveralls,
jackets, jumpsuits, and shopcoats. Information received from the
company shows that the Garment Corporation of America is the
parent firm of A-1 Manufacturing, Inc., Brilliant, Alabama.
Information also shows that some workers separated from
employment at the subject firm had their wages reported under a
separate unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for Garment
Corporation of America.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to
properly reflect this matter.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include
all workers of A-1 Manufacturing, Inc., Brilliant, Alabama who
were adversely affected by increased imports of rental uniforms,
such as coveralls, jackets, jumpsuits, and shopcoats.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-39,204 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of A-1 Manufacturing, Inc., Garment
Corporation of America, Brilliant, Alabama who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or
after April 16, 2000, through June 29, 2003, are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."

Signed at Washington, D.C. this 13th day of August, 2001.
