Levi Strauss & Company; 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 of Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on August 7, 1997, applicable to
workers of Levi Strauss and Company, located in El Paso, Texas. The
notice was published in the Federal Register on September 17, 1997 (62
FR 48888). The certification was subsequently amended to include the
subject firm workers at El Paso Field Headquarters in El Paso, Texas.
The amendment was issued on September 14, 1997, and published in the
Federal Register on September 30, 1997 (62 FR 51155). The certification
was subsequently amended to include the subject firm workers at
facilities in Fayetteville and Harrison, Arkansas and the Dallas, Texas
Regional Levi Strauss Office. This amendment was issued on December 9,
1997 and published in the Federal Register on December 18, 1997 (62 FR
66393). The certification was subsequently amended to include the
subject firm workers at a facility in Miami Lakes, Florida and
Temporary and contract workers at various facilities where the subject

[[Page 42880]]
was issued on April 15, 1998 and was published in the Federal Register
on May 5, 1998 (62 FR 24826-28).
At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. New information received
by the company shows that worker separations for those workers engaged
in the manufacture of Levi Strauss denims and Dockers have also
occurred. Based on this new information, the Department is amending the
certification to cover additional workers at the subject firm.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include all
workers of Levi Strauss and Company, as well as contract workers, who
were adversely affected by increased imports.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-33,513 is hereby issued as
follows:
All workers of Levi Strauss and Company at the Wichita Falls
Production Plant in Wichita Falls, Texas, the McAllen Production
Plant in McAllen, Texas, the Atlanta CF Regional/Sales Office in
Atlanta, Georgia, the Johnson City Production Plant in Johnson City,
Tennessee, and the San Francisco Office in San Francisco, California
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after May 13, 1996 through August 7, 1999 are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, DC this 30th day of July, 1998.
Grant D. Beale,
Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
