PRIME CAST, INC.
BELOIT, WISCONSIN
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
eligibility 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 January 2, 2001, and filed on behalf of workers at
Prime Cast, Inc., Beloit, Wisconsin. The workers produce gray,
ductile iron castings.
The subject firm has experienced sales and employment declines
during the relevant period. This investigation revealed that
declining customers of the subject firm have awarded major bids for
cast iron to foreign manufactories during the same period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with iron castings produced by Prime
Cast, Inc., Beloit, Wisconsin 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 certification:
"All workers of Prime Cast, Inc., Beloit, Wisconsin, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after December 14, 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."
