Prentiss Manufacturing Company, Plants #3 and #4, and Corporate Offices/Distribution Center; 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 February 2, 1998, applicable to all workers of Prentiss Manufacturing Company, Plant #3, Jumpertown, Mississippi. The notice was published in the Federal Register on March 16, 1998 (63 12831).

At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The company reports that worker separations will occur at Plant #4 of Prentiss Manufacturing, Booneville, Mississippi when it closes in early July, 1998. The company also reports that worker separations occurred at the subject firms' Corporate Offices/Distribution Center, also located in Booneville, Mississippi. The workers are engaged in the production of men's shirts.

The intent of the Department's certification is to include all workers of Prentiss Manufacturing Company adversely affected by increased imports of men's shirts and provide administrative office and distribution services.

Acordingly, the Department is amending the certification to cover the workers of Prentiss Manufacturing Company, Plant #4, and Corporate Offices/Distribution Center, Booneville, Mississippi.

The amended notice applicable to TA-W-34,143 is hereby issued as follows:

All workers of Prentiss Manufacturing Company, Plant #3, Jumpertown, Mississippi (TA-W-34,143), Plant #4 and Corporate Offices/Distribution Center, Booneville, Mississippi (TA-W-34,143A) who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after December 30, 1996 through February 2, 2000 are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

Signed at Washington D.C. this 22nd day of May, 1998. Grant D. Beale, Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
