MISSION VALLEY FABRICS
PLAINS COTTON COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION
NEW BRAUNFELS, TEXAS

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 January
15, 2002, applicable to workers of Mission Valley Fabrics, New
Braunfels, Texas. The notice was published in the Federal
Register on January 31, 2002 (67 FR 4750).
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 yarn died woven fabrics. New
information shows that Plains Cotton Cooperative Association is
the parent firm of Mission Valley Fabrics, New Braunfels, Texas.
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 Plains
Cotton Cooperative Association.
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 Mission Valley Fabrics, New Braunfels, Texas who
were adversely affected by increased imports.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-39,539 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Mission Valley Fabrics, Plains Cotton
Cooperative Association, New Braunfels, Texas who
became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after June 14, 2000, through January 15, 2004,
are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."

Signed at Washington, D.C. this 4th day of February, 2002.
