The notice was published in the **Federal Register** on September 29, 1999 (64 FR 52543). In addition, the Department denied eligibility for an additional eight Levi Strauss & Company facilities in Texas, Tennessee, and California because there had not been threats of employment loss at those facilities. The notice was also published in the **Federal Register** on September 29, 1999 (64 FR 52542). The company requested that the seven of the eight facilities (NAFTA-03325H through NAFTA-03325L, and NAFTA-03325N and O) which were previously denied be certified because of reduced work hours at each facility and provided information to indicate that workers had their work hours reduced by at least 20 percent.
In addition, the company requested that contractors working full-time at all of the facilities also be included in the certification. The company also requested that an additional eleven facilities and work sites in seven states (Texas, Tennessee, California, Florida, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Nevada) be included as a result of additional layoff announcements. The intent of the Department's certification is to include all workers of Levi Strauss and Company, including full time contractors working at the identified facilities, who were adversely affected by increased imports of denim and Docker apparel from Mexico.
The amended notice applicable to NAFTA-03325 is hereby issued as follows: All workers of the following Levi Strauss & Company facilities who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after August 8, 1999 through August 11, 2001 are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974: NAFTA-03325 Wichita Falls Plant, Wichita Falls, Texas 76303 NAFTA-03325A Harlingen Plant, including Texas Commission for the Blind, Harlingen, Texas 78550 NAFTA-03325B Cypress Plant, including Judy's Cafeteria, El Paso, Texas 79905 NAFTA-03325C McAllen Plant, including Texas Commission for the Blind, McAllen, Texas 78504 NAFTA-03325D Johnson City Plant, including Tri-Cities Maid (Gary, TN), Johnson City, Tennessee 37605 NAFTA-03325E Mountain City Plan, including Diversco (Spartanburg, SC) and Aramark Mountain City, Tennessee 37683 NAFTA-03325F Warsaw Plant, Warsaw, Virginia 22572 NAFTA-03325G Valdosta Plant, Valdosta, Georgia 31601 NAFTA-03325H Kastrin Plant, Kastrin, Texas 79907 NAFTA-03325I Brownsville Plant, Brownsville, Texas 78521 NAFTA-03325J San Benito Plant, San Benito, Texas 78586 NAFTA-03325K San Antonio Sewing Plant, San Antonio, Texas 78227 NAFTA-03325L San Antonio Finishing Plant, including San Antonio Credit Union, San Antonio Finishing Plant, San Antonio, Texas 78227 NAFTA-03325M Powell Plant, Powell, Tennessee NAFTA-03325N Valencia Sewing Facility, San Francisco, California 94103 NAFTA-03325O Blue Ridge Plant, Blue Ridge, Georgia 31503 NAFTA-03325P Richardson Technology Center, Richardson, Texas 75081 NAFTA-03325Q Westlake Data Center, Westlake, Texas 76262 NAFTA-03325R Dallas Customer Fulfillment Regional Office, Dallas, Texas 75252 NAFTA-03325S Knoxville Regional Office, including Global Fulfillment Services Center and Knoxville Digital Imaging Graphics Department, 1700 Cherry Street, Knoxville, Tennessee 37917 NAFTA-03325T Levi Strauss & Company Corporate Headquarters, San Francisco, California 94111 NAFTA-03325U Weston Customer Fulfillment Regional Office, Weston, Florida 33331 NAFTA-03325V Florence Customer Service Center, Florence, Kentucky 41042 NAFTA-03325W Hebron Customer Service Center, Hebron, Kentucky 41048 NAFTA-03325X Canton Customer Service Center, Canton, Mississippi 39046 NAFTA-03325Y Sky Harbor CSC, Henderson, Nevada 89012 NAFTA-03325Z Amarillo Finishing Facility, Amarillo, Texas 79107.
