SNUFFY'S PET PRODUCTS, INC.
MCCONNELLSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA
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 March 5, 2001, filed on behalf of workers at Snuffy's
Pet Products, Inc., McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania. The workers
produced rawhide treats for dogs.
Investigation findings revealed that the subject facility
experienced declines in sales, production and levels of employment.
It is now closed.
The investigation also showed that the subject firm has
increased its imports of rawhide treats for dogs.
A petition for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance has
been filed on behalf of workers at the subject firm (NAFTA 4711).
A determination on that petition will be made concurrently with
this determination.
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 Snuffy's Pet Products,
Inc., McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania, 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 Snuffy's Pet Products, Inc.,
McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after February
13, 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."
Signed at Washington, D.C., this 30th day of April 2001.
