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 eli-
gibility 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 February 20, 2001, filed on behalf of workers at
Purolator Products, Elmira, New York. The workers produced starter
drives and fuel pumps.
Investigation findings revealed that the subject plant
experienced declines in sales and levels of employment. The
workers are not separately identifiable by product line.
The Department conducted a survey of major declining customers
of the subject firm regarding their purchases of starter drives and
components. The survey revealed that a major customer of the
subject firm increased its imports of starter drives and
components, while reducing purchases from Purolator Products in
Elmira, New York.
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 those produced by Purolator Products,
Elmira, New York, contributed importantly to the decline in sales
and production and to the total or partial separation of workers of
the subject firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I
make the following certification:
"All workers at Purolator Products, Elmira, New York, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after February 2, 2000, through two years from the
date of certification, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act
of 1974."
