Buster Brown Apparel, Inc., Chilhowie, VA; Amended 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 Regarding 
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on January 19, 
1999, applicable to workers of Buster Brown Apparel Inc. located in 
Chilhowie, Virginia. The notice was published in the Federal Register 
on February 25, 1999 (64 FR 9354).
    At the request of a State representative, the Department reviewed 
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The certification 
limited the coverage to workers engaged in employment related to the 
embroidering of children's apparel. New information provided by a 
company official reveal that subsequent layoffs have occurred for those 
workers engaged in sewing children's apparel.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to cover all 
workers of Buster Brown Apparel, Inc., Chilhowie, Virginia, who were 
adversely affected by increased imports of children's apparel. 
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to expand 
coverage to all workers of the subject firm.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-35,152 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Buster Brown Apparel, Inc., Chilhowie, Virginia, 
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or 
after October 19, 1997 through January 19, 2001, are eligible to 
apply for worker adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the 
Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC this 12th day of April 1999.
Grant D. Beale,
Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
