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 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. 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 12, 2001, and filed by workers on behalf of all workers at Thermal Corporation, Selmer, Tennessee. The workers produce steel hammer handles and brake caliper castings were not separately identifiable by product line.
This investigation revealed that sales, production and employment declined at the subject plant in the relevant period.
The Department of Labor conducted a survey of the major customer of the subject firm regarding purchases of steel hammer handles and brake caliper castings . The results of the survey show that a major customer increased its purchases of imported steel hammer handles in the relevant period, while reducing purchases from Thermal Corporation.
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 steel hammer handles and brake caliper castings produced at Thermal Corporation, Selmer, Tennessee contributed importantly to the decline in sales or production and to the total or partial separation of workers of that firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Thermal Corporation, Selmer, Tennessee who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after February 21, 2000, through two years from the date of this certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 17th day of June, 2001.
