DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-59,113; TA-W-59,113A]

 
Sara Lee Branded Apparel Currently Known as Hanesbrands, Inc., 
Eden, NC; Sara Lee Branded Apparel, Currently Known as Hanesbrands, 
Inc., Galax, VA; 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), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as 
amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility 
to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade 
Adjustment Assistance on April 26, 2006, applicable to workers of Sara 
Lee Branded Apparel, Eden, North Carolina and Galax, Virginia. The 
notice was published in the Federal Register on May 11, 2006 (71 FR 
27519).
    At the request of a company official, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers at the Eden, 
North Carolina location produce yarn for knit fabric and the workers at 
the Galax, Virginia location produce knit fabric.
    New information shows that Sara Lee Branded Apparel is currently 
known as Hanesbrands, Inc. In September 2006, Sara Lee Corporation 
spun-off its Branded Apparel business and created an independent 
company, Hanesbrands, Inc. Workers separated from employment at the 
subject firm had their wages reported under a separate unemployment 
insurance (UI) tax account for Hanesbrands, Inc.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to 
properly reflect this matter.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Sara Lee Branded Apparel who were adversely affected by a 
shift in production to the Dominican Republic and El Salvador.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-59,113 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Sara Lee Branded Apparel, currently known as 
Hanesbrands, Inc., Eden, North Carolina (TA-W-59,113) and Sara Lee 
Branded Apparel, currently known as Hanesbrands, Inc., Galax, 
Virginia (TA-W-59,113A), who became totally or partially separated 
from employment on or after March 22, 2005, through April 26, 2008, 
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 14th day of November 2006.
Richard Church,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
