In accordance with Section 250(a),

Subchapter D, Chapter 2, Title II, of the

Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 USC

2273), the Department of Labor issued a

Certification of Eligibility to Apply for

NAFTA Transitional Adjustment

Assistance on February 7, 1997,

applicable to all workers of R & S Dress

At the request of the State agency, the

for workers of the subject firm. New

amending the certification for workers

of the subject firm to set the impact date

at January 23, 1996, one year prior to the

date of the petition.

The amended notice applicable to

NAFTA—01448 is hereby issued as

follows:

All workers of R & S Dress Mfg. Company

in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, who became

totally or partially separated from

employment on or after January 23, 1996 are

eligible to apply for NAFTA–TAA under

Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.

Signed at Washington, D.C. this 20th day

of February 1997.
