Farah USA, Incorporated, Savane International Corporation, El 
Paso, Texas; Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply for 
Worker Adjustment Assistance

    In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 
2273) the U.S. Department of Labor issued a Certification of 
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on February 25, 
1998 applicable to all workers of Farah USA, Incorporated located in El 
Paso, Texas. The notice will be published soon in the Federal Register.
    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 prototype garments. New information received from 
the company shows that Savane International Corporation is the parent 
firm of Farah USA, Incorporated located in El Paso, Texas. The company 
also reports that some workers separated from employment at Farah USA, 
Incorporated had their wages reported under a separate unemployment 
insurance (UI) tax account for Savane International Corporation, also 
located in El Paso, Texas. Based on these findings, the Department is 
amending the certification to reflect this matter.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Farah USA, Incorporated who were adversely affected by 
increased imports.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-34,106 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ``All workers of Farah USA, Incorporated, Savane International 
Corporation, El Paso, Texas who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after December 9, 1996 through 
February 25, 2000 are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance 
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.''

    Signed at Washington D.C. this 20th day of November, 1998.
Grant D. Beale,
Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
