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 a company official on
behalf of workers at Allegheny Color Corporation, Ridgway,
Pennsylvania. The workers produce primarily green pigment #7.
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 green pigment
#7. The results of the survey revealed that the major customers
increased their purchases of imported green pigment #7 in the
relevant period.
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 green pigment #7 produced at Allegheny
Color Corporation, Ridgway, Pennsylvania 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 Allegheny Color Corporation, Ridgway,
Pennsylvania who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 15, 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 18th day of April, 2001.
