DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-59,838]

 
Sara Lee Intimates, Currently Known As Hanesbrands, Inc., 
Statesville, NC; 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 August 17, 2006, applicable to workers of Sara 
Lee Intimates, a division of Sara Lee Branded Apparel, Statesville, 
North Carolina. The notice was published in the Federal Register on 
September 6, 2006 (71 FR 52583).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers at the 
Statesville, North Carolina location produce women's intimate apparel.
    New information shows that Sara Lee Intimates 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 Intimates who were adversely affected by a shift in 
production to Honduras.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-59,838 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ``All workers of Sara Lee Intimates, currently known as 
Hanesbrands, Inc., Statesville, North Carolina, who became totally 
or partially separated from employment on or after August 1, 2005, 
through August 17, 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 7th day of March 2007.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
