Based on these findings, the Department is amending the certification to include workers of Hampton Industries, New York, New York.

The intent of the Department's certification is to include all workers of Hampton Industries who were adversely affected by increased imports of men's and boy's woven and knit shirts.

All workers of Hampton Industries, Kinston, North Carolina (TA-W-37,964) and Hampton Industries, New York, New York (TA-W-37,964B) who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after July 20, 1999, through October 11, 2002, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
