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 December 4, 2000 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Alcoa
Lebanon Works, Lebanon, Pennsylvania. Workers at the subject
firm were employed in activities related to the manufacture of
aluminum.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been
met.
This investigation revealed that the subject firm does not
import aluminum that is like or directly competitive with that
made at Lebanon, Pennsylvania.
The investigation further revealed that separations at the
subject plant were due to a transfer of production to other
company-owned domestic facilities.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers at Alcoa
Lebanon Works, Lebanon, Pennsylvania, are denied eligibility to
apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade
Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 28th day of February, 2001.
