DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training Administration
[TA-W-34,003 and TA-W-34,003A]
Umbro International and Umbro North America, Fairbluff, NC, and
Greenville, SC; 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 January 8, 1998, applicable
to all workers of Umbro North America, located in Fairbluff, North
Carolina. The notice was published in the Federal Register on February
6, 1998 (63 FR 6209).
At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. The investigation
findings show that Umbro International is the parent firm of Umbro
North America. Findings also show that worker separations are expected
to occur at the subject firm's Greenville, South Carolina location in
March 1998 and continue through June 1998 when the entire company
closes. The workers produce soccer shorts and jerseys as well as
provide administrative and support function services for Umbro
International. Also, the Department incorrectly limited the
certification to ``all workers engaged in employment related to the
production of soccer shorts and jerseys.''
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to cover
workers at the subject firms' Greenville, South Carolina location.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include ``all
workers''

of Umbro International adversely affected by increased imports.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-34,003 is hereby issued as
follows:
All workers of Umbro International, Umbro North America,
Fairbluff, North Carolina (TA-W-34,003) and Greenville, South
Carolina (TA-W-34,003A) who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after October 28, 1996 through January 8, 2000
are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of
the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 31st day of March 1998.
Grant D. Beale,
Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
