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 11, 2000, in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at John
Campbell & Co., Inc., Perkasie, Pennsylvania. The workers are
engaged in the production of textile dyes.

The current investigation revealed that criterion (3) has
not been met.
The Department of Labor conducted a survey of the subject
firm's major customers regarding their purchases of textile dyes
during the relevant period. The survey revealed that the
respondents did not increase their imports of textile dyes while
reducing their purchases from the subject firm during the
relevant period.
The investigation further revealed that the subject firm did
not import textile dyes during the relevant period.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of John
Campbell & Co., Inc., Perkasie, Pennsylvania are denied
eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223
of the Trade Act of 1974.

Signed in Washington, D. C. this 23rd day of January, 2001
