In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on September 8, 2004, applicable to workers of Kent Sporting Goods, New London, Ohio. The notice was published in the Federal Register on September 23, 2004 (69 FR 57094).

At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged in the production of life vests.

Based on these findings, the Department is amending the certification to include the worker of the New London, Ohio facility of Kent Sporting Goods located in Madison, Georgia.

The intent of the Department's certification is to include all workers of Kent Sporting Goods who were adversely affected by increased company imports.
