DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-61,393]

 
Best: Artex LLC, Currently Known as Best Textiles International 
Ltd., Highland, IL; 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), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as 
amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification Regarding 
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative 
Trade Adjustment Assistance on May 24, 2007, applicable to workers of 
Best: Artex LLC, Highland, Illinois. The notice was published in the 
Federal Register on June 7, 2007 (72 FR 31616).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged 
in the support activities of accounting and technical services to an 
affiliate in West Point, Mississippi, producing dyed and bleached 
fabric.
    New information shows that following a change in ownership in 
February 2007, Best: Artex LLC is currently known as Best Textiles 
International Ltd. Workers separated from employment at the subject 
firm had their wages reported under a separate unemployment insurance 
(UI) tax account for Best Textiles International Ltd.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification to show 
that Best: Artex LLC is currently known as Best Textiles International 
Ltd.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Best: Artex LLC, currently known as Best Textiles 
International Ltd. who were adversely affected by a shift in production 
to Cambodia.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-61,393 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ``All workers of Best: Artex LLC, currently known as Best 
Textiles International Ltd., Highland, Illinois, who became totally 
or partially separated from employment on or after April 26, 2006, 
through May 24, 2009, 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 9th day of July 2008.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
