Majestic Shapes, Inc., Including Keepshapes, Inc., Bronx, New York; 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 June 4, 1999, applicable to workers of Majestic Shapes, Bronx, New York. The notice was published in the Federal Register on June 30, 1999 (64 FR 35185).

On its own motion, the U.S. Department of Labor reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers were engaged in the production of shoulder pads for the apparel industry. New information shows that worker separations occurred at Keepshapes, Incorporated. Keepshapes, Incorporated, and its affiliate Majestic Shapes, Incorporated, closed in early 1999 and were housed at the same location. The workers of Keepshapes, Incorporated were not included in the original certification.

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

Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to cover the workers of Keepshapes, Incorporated, Bronx, New York.

The amended notice applicable to TA-W-35,990 is hereby issued as follows:

All workers of Majestic Shapes, Incorporated and Keepshapes, Incorporated, Bronx, New York who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after March 11, 1998 through June 4, 2001 are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

Signed at Washington, DC, this 22nd day of November, 1999. Grant D. Beale, Program Manager, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
