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 eligibility
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 April 9, 2001, and filed on behalf of workers at SKF-
USA, C.R. Bearing Seals Division, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The
workers produce bearing seals.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm experienced
absolute declines in sales, production, and employment during the
relevant period.
Furthermore, the investigation revealed that there were
substantial increases in customer imports of bearing seals during
the relevant period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles like
or directly competitive with bearing seals produced by SKF-USA, C.R.
Bearing Seals Division, Bethlehem, 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 SKF-USA, C.R. Bearing Seals Division,
Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after March 21, 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 in Washington, D. C. this 3rd day of August, 2001.
