Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) as amended by the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act
of 1988 (P. L. 100-418), the Department of Labor herein presents
the results of an investigation regarding certification of eligi-
bility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance,
each of the group eligibility requirements of Section 222 of the
Act must be met:
(1) that a significant number or proportion of the workers
in the workers' firm, or an appropriate subdivision
thereof, have become totally or partially separated,
or are threatened to become totally or partially
separated;

(2) that sales or production, or both, of the firm or
subdivision have decreased absolutely; and

(3) that increases of imports of articles like or directly
competitive with articles produced by the firm or
appropriate subdivision have contributed importantly to
the separations, or threat thereof, and to the absolute
decline in sales or production.

The investigation was initiated on October 16, 2000, in
response to a petition filed By the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters, Local 200, on behalf of workers at ADM Milling
Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Workers were engaged in
activities related to the production of corn products.
A petition for NAFTA-Transitional Adjustment Assistance has
been filed on behalf of workers at the subject firm (NAFTA -
4192). A determination on that case will be made concurrently
with this.
This investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been
met.
The company did not import during the relevant period.
The Department of Labor surveyed major customers of ADM
Milling Company in regard to their purchase of corn products
within the relevant period. Results of this survey revealed that
none of the customers were importing competitive products.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of ADM
Milling Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin are denied eligibility to
apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade
Act of 1974.

Signed in Washington, D. C. this 20th day of November, 2000.
