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 November 10, 1999, applicable to workers of Chester County Sportswear, located in Henderson, Tennessee. This notice was published in the Federal Register on December 28, 1999 (64 FR 72692).

At the request of the Company, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm.

The intent of the Department's certification is to include all workers of the subject firm adversely affected by increased imports.
