Red Kap Industries, Ripley, MS and Tompkinsville, KY; 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 February 6, 1998, applicable to all workers of Red Kap Industries located in Ripley, Mississippi. The notice was published in the Federal Register on March 16, 1998 (63 FR 12831).

At the request of petitioners, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. New findings show that worker separations will occur at the subject firm's Tompkinsville, Kentucky plant. The workers are engaged in employment related to the production of work uniforms and jeans.

The intent of the Department's certification is to include all workers of Red Kap Industries who were affected by increased imports. Accordingly, the Department is amending the worker certification to include the workers of Red Kap Industries in Tompkinsville, Kentucky.

The amended notice applicable to TA-W-34,142 is hereby issued as follows:

``All workers of Red Kap Industries, Ripley, Mississippi (TA-W- 34,142) and Tompkinsville, Kentucky (TA-W-34,142A) who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after December 18, 1996 through February 6, 2000, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.''

Signed at Washington, D.C. this 16th day of April, 1998. Grant D. Beale, Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
