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 April 12, 2001, applicable to workers of Haggar Clothing Company, Edinburg Manufacturing, Edinburg, Texas and Haggar Clothing Company, Weslaco Operations, Weslaco, Texas. The notice was published in the Federal Register on May 2, 2001 (FR 66 22006).

At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers produce men's pants, shorts and coats. New findings show that there was a previous certification, TA-W-35,858 and TA-W-38,858A, issued on April 30, 1999, for workers of Haggar Clothing Company, Edinburg Manufacturing, Edinburg, Texas and Haggar Clothing Company, Weslaco Operations, Weslaco, Texas who were engaged in employment related to the production of men's pants, shorts and coats. That certification expired April 30, 2001. To avoid an overlap in worker group coverage, the certification is being amended to change the impact date from February 14, 2000 to May 1, 2001, for workers of the subject firm.

The amended notice applicable to TA-W-38,732 and TA-W-38,732A is hereby issued as follows:
