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 July 2,
2002, applicable to workers of Williamson Dickie Manufacturing
Company, McAllen #9, McAllen, Texas. The notice was published in
the Federal Register on July 18, 2002 (67 FR 47400).
At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. New information
shows that worker separations occurred at the Weslaco, Texas
location of Williamson Dickie Manufacturing Company when the
plant closed permanently in September, 2002. The workers were
engaged in employment related to the production of men's work
pants.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification
to cover workers of Williamson Dickie Manufacturing Company,
Weslaco, Texas.


The intent of the Department's certification is to include
all workers of Williamson Dickie Manufacturing Company who were
adversely affected by increased imports.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-41,379 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Williamson Dickie Manufacturing Company,
McAllen #9, McAllen, Texas (TA-W-41,379) and Williamson
Dickie Manufacturing Company, Weslaco, Texas (TA-W-41,379A)
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after April 9, 2001, through July 2, 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 October, 2002.
