In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on April 9,

Federal Register on April 24, 2003 (68 FR 20177).
At the request of the State Agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
produce dresses. The review shows that the subject firm also does
business under Evening Vision Limited and Evening Vision Dresses
at the same New York, New York location.
It is the Department’s intent to include all workers of
Evening Vision Dresses, LTD, New York, New York, adversely
affected by increased imports. Therefore, the Department is
amending the certification to include workers whose Unemployment
Insurance (UI) wages were reported to Evening Vision Limited and
Evening Vision Dresses.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-51,295 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Evening Vision Dresses, LTD, Evening Vision
Limited, and Evening Vision Dresses, New York, New York, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after March 20, 2002, through April 9, 2005, are eligible to
apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of its investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance, the group eligibility requirements in either paragraph
(a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act must be met.
It is determined in this case that the requirements of (a)(2)(A) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on March 25, 2003 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Evening Visions Dresses
LTD, New York, New York. The workers at the subject firm produced
dresses.
The investigation revealed that sales and employment at the
subject firm decreased from 2001 to 2002.



The investigation further revealed that the overall U.S.
market experienced an increased reliance on imported women’s and
girl’s dresses from January through September 2002 over the
corresponding 2001 period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with dresses produced at Evening
Visions Dresses LTD, New York, New York contributed importantly to
the total or partial separation of workers and to the decline in
sales or production and at that firm or subdivision. In accordance
with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Evening Visions Dresses LTD, New York, New
York who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after March 20, 2002 through two years from the date of
certification are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 9th day of April, 2003.
