Jasper Textiles, Inc. a/k/a Outer Banks; Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 USC 2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on March 31, 1999, applicable to workers of Jasper Textiles, Inc., a/k/a Outer Banks, Jacksonville, North Carolina. The notice was published in the Federal Register on May 21, 1999 (64 FR 27811).

At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. New findings show that worker separations will occur at the Whiteville, North Carolina facility of Jasper Textiles, Inc., a/k/a Outer banks when it closes in October, 1999. The workers are engaged in the production of men's and women's knit shirts.

Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to cover workers at Jasper Textiles, Inc., a/k/a/ Outer Banks, Whiteville, North Carolina. The intent of the Department's certification is to include all workers of Jasper Textiles, Inc., a/k/a/ Outer Banks adversely affected by increased imports.

The amended notice applicable to TA-W-35,614 is hereby issued as follows:

All workers of Jasper Textiles, Inc., a/k/a Outer Banks, Jacksonville, North Carolina (TA-W-35,614) and Whiteville, North Carolina (TA-W-35,614A) who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after January 20, 1998 through March 31, 2001 are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

Signed at Washington D.C. this 17th day of August, 1999. Grant D. Beale, Program Manager, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
