The Owenby Company Including Workers Whose Wages Were Paid By 
Skilstaf, Inc., Blairsville, GA; 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 29, 2003, applicable to workers of The Owenby 
Company, Blairsville, Georgia. The notice was published in the Federal 
Register on November 6, 2003 (68 FR 62833).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers were engaged 
in the production of tee shirts.
    Information provided by the State agency shows that Skilstaf, Inc. 
was contracted by The Owenby Company to provide payroll function 
services to workers on-site at the Blairsville, Georgia location of The 
Owenby Company.
    Information also shows that all workers separated from employment 
at the subject firm had their wages reported under a separate 
unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for Skilstaf, Inc.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending this 
certification to include workers whose wages were reported by Skilstaf, 
Inc. at The Owenby Company, Blairsville, Georgia.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of The Owenby Company who was adversely affected by increased 
imports.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-52,833 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of The Owenby Company, including workers whose wages 
were reported by Skilstaf, Inc., Blairsville, Georgia, who became 
totally or partially separated from employment on or after September

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 29th day of March, 2005.
