DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training Administration
[NAFTA-02090]
Farah USA, Incorporated, Savane International Corporation, El
Paso, Texas; 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 (19 U.S.C. 2273), the Department of Labor
issued a Certification for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance on
February 25, 1998, applicable to all workers of Farah USA, Incorporated
located in El Paso, Texas. The notice was published in the Federal
Register on March 16, 1998 (63 FR 12838).
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 the
shift of production to Mexico.
The amended notice applicable to NAFTA-02090 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 NAFTA-TAA under Section
250 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed at Washington, DC this 20th day of November, 1998.
Grant D. Beale,
Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
