In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (“Act”), 19 U.S.C. 2273, the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on September 17, 2013, applicable to workers of Mt. Ida Footwear Co., a subsidiary of Munro & Company, Inc., Mount Ida, Arkansas. The Department's notice of determination was published in the Federal Register on October 24, 2013 (78 FR 63496).
