DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training Administration
[NAFTA-02016 and NAFTA-02016A]
Umbro International and Umbro North America, Fairbluff, NC and
Greenville, SC; Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply
for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 250(a), Subchapter 2, Title II, of the
Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2273), the Department of Labor
issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for NAFTA Transitional
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 January 22, 1998 (63 FR 3352).
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 Umbro International, Greenville, South Carolina.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include ``all
workers'' of Umbro International, adversely affected by imports from
Mexico and Canada.
The amended notice applicable to NAFTA-02016 is hereby issued as
follows:
All workers of Umbro International, Umbro North America,
Fairbluff, North Carolina (NAFTA-02016) and Greenville, South
Carolina (NAFTA-02016A) who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after October 28, 1996 through January 8, 1998
are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 of the Trade
Act of 1974.
Signed at Washington, D.C. this 31st day of March 1998.
Grant D. Beale,
Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
