    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 Notice of Determination 
Regarding Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on 
February 21, 2006, applicable to workers of WestPoint Home, Inc., 
formerly WestPoint Stevens, Inc., Sales and Marketing Office, New York, 
New York. The notice was published in the Federal Register on March 22, 
2006 (71 FR 14549).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm.
    New information shows that a worker separation has occurred 
involving an employee of the Sales and Marketing Office, New York, New 
York of WestPoint Home, Inc., formerly WestPoint Stevens, Inc. located 
in Seneca, South Carolina. Mr. Gerry Bednar provided various support 
services for the manufacture of comforters, sheets, pillowcases, towels 
and blankets produced by WestPoint Home, Inc., formerly WestPoint 
Stevens, Inc.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending this 
certification to include an employee of the Sales and Marketing Office 
New York, New York facility of WestPoint Home, Inc., formerly WestPoint 
Stevens, Inc. located in Seneca, South Carolina.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of WestPoint Home, Inc., formerly WestPoint Stevens, Inc., 
Sales and Marketing Office, New York, New York who were adversely 
affected by increased company and customer imports.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-58,623L is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of WestPoint Home, Inc., formerly WestPoint Stevens, 
Inc., Sales and Marketing Office, New York, New York (TA-W-58,623L), 
including an employee reporting to this office but working in 
Seneca, South Carolina (TA-W-58,623GG), who became totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after January 12, 2005, 
through February 21, 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 5th day of February 2008.
