TRADE ADJUSTMENT ASSISTANCE
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

TA-W-38,648
STERLING LAST LLC
HENDERSON, TENNESSEE
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 sub-
division have decreased absolutely; and
(3) that increases of imports of articles like or directly
competitive with articles produced by the firm or ap-
propriate subdivision have contributed importantly to the
separations, or threat thereof, and to the absolute
decline in sales or production.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on February 5, 2001, and filed on behalf of workers at
Sterling Last LLC, Henderson, Tennessee. The workers produced
plastic shoe lasts.
A petition for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment has been filed on
behalf of workers at the subject firm (NAFTA - 4530). A
determination on that petition will be made concurrently with this
petition.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been
met.
The subject firm is not importing plastic shoe lasts.
A Department of Labor survey of the subject firm's major
customers revealed that they are not importing plastic shoe lasts
from foreign sources.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of Sterling
Last LLC, Henderson, Tennessee, are denied eligibility to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 17th day of April 2001.
