DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration
[TA-W-33,767]


Fruit of the Loom; Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility To 
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

Martin Mills, Inc., D/B/A St. Martinville Mills, Including Former 
Employees of Jeanerette Mills, St. Martinville, Louisiana
TA-W-33,767A, Abbeville Mills, Division of Martin Mills, Inc., 
Including Former Employees of Jeanerette Mills, Abbeville, Louisiana
TA-W-33,767B, Port Barre Mills, Division of Martin Mills, Inc., 
Including Former Employees of Jeanerette Mills, Port Barre, 
Louisiana

and

TA-W-33,767D, Fruit of the Loom, Jamestown, Kentucky

    In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 
2273) the Department of Labor issued a Notice of Certification 
Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on 
August 29, 1997, applicable to workers of Fruit of the Loom, Martin 
Mills, Inc., located in St. Martinville, Abbeville, and Port Barre, 
Louisiana, and Jamestown, Kentucky. The notice will soon be published 
in the Federal Register.
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged 
in employment related to the production of T-shirts, briefs, boxers and 
layette. Findings on review show that some of the workers at the 
subject firm locations in Louisiana have had their wages reported to 
the separate Unemployment Insurance tax account for Jeanerette Mills, a 
subsidiary of Fruit of the Loom. Other new findings show that Martin 
Mills, Inc. in St. Martinville, Louisiana is doing business as St. 
Martinville Mills. Based on this new information, the Department is 
amending the certification to reflect these matters.
    Further review of the Jamestown, Kentucky certification for workers 
of Fruit of the Loom shows that workers were covered under a previous 
TAA certification, TA-W-31,144, which expired on July 31, 1997. To 
avoid overlap in worker coverage, the Department is amending the new 
TAA certification for workers of Fruit of the Loom located in 
Jamestown, Kentucky to reflect the new impact date of August 1, 1997.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-33,767 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ``All workers of Fruit of the Loom, Martin Mills, Inc., doing 
business as St. Martinville Mills, including former employees of 
Jeanerette Mills, St. Martinville, Louisiana (TA-W-33,767), 
Abbeville Mills, Division of Martin Mills, Inc., including former 
employees of Jeanerette Mills, Abbeville, Louisiana (TA-W-33,767A), 
Port Barre Mills, Division of Martin Mills Inc., including former 
employees of Jeanerette Mills, Port Barre, Louisiana (TA-W-33,767B), 
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or 
after August 14, 1996; and all workers of Fruit of the Loom, 
Jamestown, Kentucky (TA-W-33,767D) who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after August 1, 1997, are eligible 
to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade 
Act of 1974.''

    Signed in Washington. D.C. this 14th day of September 1997.
Grant D. Beale,
Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
