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).

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 Dockers have also occurred, as well as separations from companies doing contract work at these Levi Strauss locations. Based on this new information, the Department is amending the certification to cover the subject firm' Docker workers as well as contract workers at the approved Levi Strauss facilities.

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, including Dockers and temporary or contract workers at the following facilities, 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:
