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 separat-
ed;
(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 January 22, 2001, in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Fechheimer
Brothers Company, Sol Frank Division, San Antonio, Texas. The
workers were engaged in the production of school band uniforms.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been
met.
The subject firm did not import school band uniforms.
The U.S. Department of Labor conducted a survey of the major
customer of the subject firm. The survey revealed that the major
customer did not import school band uniforms during the period
under investigation.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of
Fechheimer Brothers Company, Sol Frank Division, San Antonio,
Texas are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 9th day of March, 2001.
