[TA-W-52,959]


Maxxim Medical, Inc., Honea Path, SC; Amended Certification
Regarding Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and

    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

[[Page 66497]]

under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), a Negative
Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance on October 14, 2003, applicable to workers of
Maxxim Medical, Inc., Honea Path, South Carolina. The notice will be
published soon in the Federal Register.
    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 surgical gloves.
    Company information received during the Department's investigation
stated that workers engaged in the production of surgical gloves at the
plant possess skills that are easily transferable. New information
provided by the company states that workers at the subject firm require
skills that are unique to the surgeon glove manufacturing process.
Therefore, workers' skills are not easily transferable.
    Review of this information shows that all eligibility criteria
under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as amended
have been met.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-52,959 is hereby issued as
follows:

    All workers of Maxxim Medical, Inc., Honea Path, South Carolina,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after September 19, 2002 through October 14, 2005, 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 6th day of November, 2003.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
