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 Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on May 18, 1998 applicable to
all workers of Westark Garment Manufacturing, Waldron, Arkansas. The
notice was published in the Federal Register on June 22, 1998 (63 FR

At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. New information from the
company shows that worker separations will occur at Westark Garment
Manufacturing's Magazine and Fort Smith, Arkansas production facilities
when they close December 23, 1998. The workers are engaged in
employment related to the production of jackets used for decoration and
recognition.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to cover
workers at Westark Garment Manufacturing, Magazine and Fort Smith,
Arkansas.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include all
workers of Westark Garment Manufacturing adversely affected by
increased imports.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-34,460 is hereby issued as
follows:
All workers of Westark Garment Manufacturing, Waldron Arkansas,
(TA-W-34,460), Magazine, Arkansas (TA-W-34,460B) and Forth Smith,
