DECATUR CASTING
DECATUR, INDIANA
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 sub-
division have decreased absolutely; and
(3) that increases of imports of articles like or directly
competitive with articles produced by the firm or ap-
propriate 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 Decatur Casting,
Decatur, Indiana. The workers produced iron castings.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been
met.
The subject firm is not importing iron castings.
The Department of Labor conducted a survey of a major customer
of the subject firm regarding their purchases of iron castings. The
customer reporting that it has not imported iron castings.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of Decatur
Casting, Decatur, Indiana, are denied eligibility to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 29th day of June 2001.
