In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (“Act”), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on September 17, 2013, applicable to workers of Mt. Ida Footwear Co., a subsidiary of Munro & Company, Inc., Mount Ida, Arkansas. The Department’s notice of determination was published in the Federal Register on October 24, 2013 (78 FR 63496).
At the request of the state workforce office, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers were engaged in the production of women’s shoes.

Based on these findings, the Department is amending this certification to include workers of Munro & Company, Inc., Hot Springs, Arkansas.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-83,047 is hereby issued as follows:
"All workers of Mt. Ida Footwear Co., a subsidiary of Munro & Company, Inc., Mt.

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the
workers in such workers' firm have become totally or
partially separated, or are threatened to become
totally or partially separated;
(2)(B)(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers'
firm to a foreign country in the production of
articles or supply of services like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by the
workers' firm; OR
(II) there has been an acquisition from a
foreign country by the workers' firm of
articles/services that are like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by
the workers' firm; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on September 3, 2013 by the state workforce office on
behalf of workers of Mt. Ida Footwear Co., a subsidiary of
Munro & Company, Inc., Mount Ida, Arkansas. The workers' firm
is engaged in activities related to the production of women's
shoes such as casual, business casual and comfort.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in such workers' firm have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to
become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has acquired from a foreign country articles like or
directly competitive with the article produced by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Mt. Ida Footwear Co., a subsidiary of Munro & Company, Inc.,
Mount Ida, Arkansas.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Mt. Ida Footwear Co.,
a subsidiary of Munro & Company, Inc., Mount Ida, Arkansas,
who are engaged in activities related to the production of
women's shoes meet the worker group certification criteria under
Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a). In accordance
with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the
following certification:
"All workers of Mt. Ida Footwear Co., a subsidiary of
Munro & Company, Inc., Mount Ida, Arkansas, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
August 30, 2012, through two years from the date of
certification, and all workers in the group threatened with
total or partial separation from employment on date of
certification through two years from the date of
certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended."
