DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-50,167]

 
Bike Athletic Company, a Division of Russell Corporation, 
Knoxville, TN; Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply for 
Worker 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 on December 4, 2002, applicable 
to workers of Bike Athletic Company, Knoxville, Tennessee. The notice 
was published in the Federal Register on December 23, 2002 (67 FR 
78256). The certification was amended January 14, 2003 to include all 
workers of the subject firm. The notice was published in the Federal 
Register on February 6, 2003 (68 FR 6213).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged 
in the production of (cut fabric) men's and women's athletic team 
apparel. New information received from the State shows that Bike 
Athletic Company was purchased by Russell Corporation in February 2003 
and became known as Bike Athletic Company, a division of Russell 
Corporation. Information also shows that workers separated from 
employment at Bike Athletic Company had their wages reported under a 
separate unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for Bike Athletic 
Company, a division of Russell Corporation.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to 
properly reflect this matter.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-50,167 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Bike Athletic Company, a Division of Russell 
Corporation, Knoxville, Tennessee who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after November 21, 2001, through 
December 4, 2004, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance 
under section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
