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 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. It is determined in this case that all of the
requirements have been met.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on December 4, 2000 and filed by a company official on
behalf of workers at Karmazin Products Corporation, Wyandotte,
Michigan. The workers were engaged in activities related to the
production of heat exchangers. The workers are not separately
identifiable by product line.
Subject plant sales, production and employment declined during
the relevant period.



The company shifted their production of heat exchangers to a
facility located abroad and is currently increasing their imports
of heat exchangers.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investi-
gation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles like or
directly competitive with heat exchangers contributed importantly
to the decline in sales or production and to the total or partial
separation of workers of that firm. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the following certifications:
"All workers of Karmazin Products Corporation, Wyandotte,
Michigan who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after November 17, 1999, 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 5th day of January, 2001
