VF Knitwear, Inc., Hillsville, Virginia; VF Knitwear, Inc., 
Bassett Walker-Stuart Division, Stuart, Virginia; Amended Certification 
Regarding Eligibility to Apply for NAFTA-Transitional Adjustment 
Assistance

    In accordance with Section 250(a), Subchapter D, Chapter 2, Title 
II, of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2273), the 
Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for 
NAFTA-Transitional Adjustment Assistance on June 8, 1998, applicable to 
workers of VF Knitwear, Inc., Hillsville, Virginia. The notice was 
published in the Federal Register on July 13, 1998 (63 FR 37591).
    At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The company reports that 
temporary separations have occurred at the VF Knitwear plant located in 
Stuart, Virginia and all workers producing t-shirts and fleece wear 
will be separated from employment when the plant closes in October 
1998.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of VF Knitwear, Inc. adversely affected by increased imports 
from Mexico. Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification 
to include workers of VF Knitwear, Inc., Bassett-Walker, Stuart 
Division, Stuart, Virginia.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA-2360 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of VF Knitwear, Inc., Hillsville, Virginia (NAFTA-
2360) and VF Knitwear, Inc., Bassett-Walker, Stuart Division, 
Stuart, Virginia (NAFTA-2360A) who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after May 1, 1997 through June 8, 
2000, are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 of the 
Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed in Washington, D.C. this 19th day of August 1998.
