[TA-W-38,447]

 
Pinebluff Manufacturing Company, Now Known as Ellery Homestyles, 
LLC, Pinebluff, NC; Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility To 
Apply for Worker 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 on February 7, 2001, applicable 
to workers of Pinebluff Manufacturing Company, Pinebluff, North 
Carolina. The notice was published in the Federal Register on March 2, 
2001 (66 FR 13086).
    At the request of the petitioners, the Department reviewed the 
certification

for workers of the subject firm. The workers were engaged in the 
production of curtains
    The workers of Ellery Homestyles, LLC, Pinebluff, North Carolina 
(TA-W-41,083) engaged in the distribution of window curtains were 
denied Trade Adjustment Assistance on March 27, 2002. Performance of 
services does not constitute production of an article, as required by 
the Trade Act of 1974, and this determination has been upheld in the 
U.S. Court of Appeals.
    The petitioners provided new information after the issuance of the 
March 27, 2002 denial indicating that after a company name change in 
April 2001, Pinebluff Manufacturing Company is now known as Ellery 
Homestyles, LLC.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification 
determination to properly reflect this matter.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Pinebluff Manufacturing Company, now known as Ellery 
Homestyles, LLC who were adversely affected by increased imports.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-38,447 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Pinebluff Manufacturing Company, now known as 
Ellery Homestyles, LLC, Pinebluff, North Carolina who became totally 
or partially separated from employment on or after December 4, 1999, 
through February 7, 2003, are eligible to apply for adjustment 
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 26th day of April, 2002.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
