VF Jeanswear Limited Partnership, Subsidiary of VF Corporation 
Faben Facility, Cutting and Parts Division, Fabens, Texas; VF Jeanswear 
Limited Partnership, Subsidiary of VF Corporation Rojas Facility, 
Administrative Division, El Paso, Texas; VF Jeanswear Limited 
Partnership, Subsidiary of VF Corporation Riverside Facility, Laundry 
and Finishing Division, El Paso, TX; 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 September 23, 2004, applicable to workers of VF Jeanswear 
Limited Partnership, subsidiary of VF Corporation, Cutting and Parts 
Division, Fabens, Texas, VF Jeanswear Limited Partnership, subsidiary 
of VF Corporation, Administrative Division, El Paso, Texas and VF 
Jeanswear Limited Partnership, subsidiary of VF Corporation, Laundry 
and Finishing Division, El Paso, Texas. The notice will be published 
soon in the Federal Register.
    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 jeans for men; women and children provide 
administrative support services, and laundry and finishing of the jeans 
and are separately identifiable by location.
    New findings show that there was a previous certification, TA-W-
40,737 and TA-W-40,737A, issued on February 11, 2002, for workers of VF 
Jeanswear Limited Partnership, Fabens Facility, Fabens, Texas, Rojas 
Facility, El Paso, Texas and Riverside Facility, El Paso, Texas who 
were engaged in employment related to the production of jeans, 
administrative support services and laundry and finishing of the jeans. 
That certification expired February 11, 2004. To avoid an overlap in 
worker group coverage, the certification is being amended to change the 
impact date from September 10, 2003 to February 12, 2004, for workers 
of the subject firm.
