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 on March 12, 2001, in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Marcegaglia USA, Inc.,
Damascus Tube, Greenville, Pennsylvania. The workers are engaged
in employment related to the production of stainless steel tube,
pipe, and ornamental.
The investigation revealed that sales, production, and
employment declined at the subject firm during the relevant period.
The investigation further revealed that major customers of the
subject firm increased foreign imports of stainless steel tube and
pipe, while at the same time, decreasing purchases from the subject
firm during the relevant period.
A petition for NAFTA-Transitional Adjustment Assistance has
been filed on behalf of workers at the subject firm (NAFTA-4600).
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investi-
gation, I conclude that there was an increase in imports of
articles that are like or directly competitive with those produced
by the subject firm. In accordance with the provisions of the
Trade Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers at Marcegaglia USA, Inc., Damascus Tube,
Greenville, Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after February 16, 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 23rd day of July, 2001.
