[TA-W-63,085; TA-W-63,085A]

 
Trimtex Co., Inc., Williamsport, PA; Novtex Division of Trimtex 
Co., Inc., Adams, MA; Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility To 
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade 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 and Alternative Trade Adjustment 
Assistance on April 24, 2008, applicable to workers of Trimtex Co., 
Inc., Williamsport, Pennsylvania. The notice was published in the 
Federal Register on May 13, 2008 (73 FR 27560).
    At the request of a company official, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged 
in the production of decorative trimmings.
    New findings show that worker separations occurred at the Novtex 
Division of Trimtex Co., Inc., Adams, Massachusetts. Workers at the 
Adams, Massachusetts facility provide sales, inventory control, product 
development, design and sourcing and various other activities 
supporting the production of decorative trimmings that is produced at 
the Williamsport, Pennsylvania location of the subject firm.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to cover 
workers at Novtex Division of Trimtex Co., Inc., Adams, Massachusetts.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Trimtex Co., Inc. who were adversely affected by a shift in 
production of decorative trimmings to Mexico and China.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-63,085 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ``All workers of Trimtex Co., Inc., Williamsport, Pennsylvania 
(TA-W-63,085), and Novtex Division of Trimtex Co., Inc., Adams, 
Massachusetts (TA-W-63,085A), who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after March 24, 2007, through April 
24, 2010, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under 
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also eligible to apply 
for alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the 
Trade Act of 1974.''

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 26th day of June 2008.
