FRANKLIN, TENNESSEE
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 April 2, 2001, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers at Nu-Kote International, Franklin, Tennessee. The
workers are engaged in employment related to the production of
ink jet cartridges.
The investigation revealed that production and employment at
the subject plant decreased during the period under
investigation.
The subject firm is replacing production of ink jet
cartridges at the Franklin plant with ink jet cartridges produced
abroad to supply U.S. customers.
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 Nu-Kote International, Franklin, Tennessee,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after March 20, 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 29th day of June, 2001.
