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

September 17, 1996, applicable to

workers of Kingstree Knits, a Division of

Texfi Industries, Incorporated, located

in Midway, Georgia. The notice was

published in the Federal Register on

October 1, 1996 (61 FR 51303). The

worker certification was subsequently

amended to include workers at other

production facilities of the subject firm.

At the request of petitioners, the

Department reviewed the certification

for workers of the subject firm. New

findings show that workers separations

have occurred at the subject firm’s

Kingstree, South Carolina location. The

workers produce tee shirts for women,

men and boys.

The intent of the Department’s

certification is to include all workers of

Kingstree Knits who were affected by

increased imports. Accordingly, the

Department is amending the worker

certification to include the workers of

Kingstree Knits, a Division of Texfi

Industries, Incorporated, located in

Kingstree, South Carolina.

The amended notice applicable to

TA–W–32,561 is hereby issued as

follows:

All workers of Kingstree Knits, a Division

of Texfi Industries, Incorporated, Midway,

Georgia (TA–W–32,561) and Kingstree, South

Carolina (TA–W–32,561E), who became

totally or partially separated from

employment on or after July 11, 1995, are

eligible to apply for adjustment assistance

Signed at Washington, DC, this 21st day of

submitted to the office listed in the

addressee section below on or before

for the proper performance of the

functions of the agency, including

whether the information will have

practical utility;

• evaluate the accuracy of the

agency’s estimate of the burden of the

proposed collection of information,

including the validity of the

methodology and assumptions used;

• enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and

• minimize the burden of the

collection of information on those who

use of appropriate automated,

electronic, mechanical, or other

of responses.
