Westark Garment Manufacturing; Waldron and Ratcliff, AR; Amended 
Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment 
Assistance

    In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 USC 
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 
33958).
    At the request of the petitioners, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. New information from the 
company shows that worker separations occurred at Westark Garment 
Manufacturing's Ratcliff, Arkansas production facility when it closed 
in July, 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, Ratcliff, 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), and Ratcliff, Arkansas (TA-W-34,460D) who became 
totally or partially separated from employment on or after March 25, 
1997 through May 18, 2000 are eligible to apply for adjustment 
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC this 5th day of February, 1999.
Grant D. Beale,
Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
