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
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 March 12, 2001 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers at U.S. Intec, Inc.,
Corvallis, Oregon. Workers were engaged in producing asphalt
roofing material.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been
met.
The investigation revealed that sales, production, and
employment at the Corvallis plant declined to zero on November 12,
2000, when the subject firm closed permanently.
The investigation further revealed that U.S. Intec, Inc.,
Corvallis, Oregon, did not import articles that were like or
directly competitive with the articles produced at the subject
plant.
The U.S. Department of Labor conducted a survey of major
customers of U.S. Intec, Inc. regarding their purchases of asphalt
roofing material in 1999, 2000, and the first-quarter 2001. The
survey revealed that no respondent reported importing asphalt
roofing material while decreasing purchases from the subject firm
during the relevant time period.
Investigative findings revealed that any separations at the
subject firm were due to a transfer of production to another
company-owned domestic facility.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of U.S.
Intec, Inc., Corvallis, Oregon are denied eligibility to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed at Washington, D.C., this 8th day of June, 2001.
