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
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:
(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 subdi-
vision have decreased absolutely; and
(3) that increases of imports of articles like or directly
competitive with articles produced by the firm or appro-
priate subdivision have contributed importantly to the
separations, or threat thereof, and to the absolute
decline in sales or production.
The investigation was initiated on April 9, 2001 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers at ZapatA Technologies,
Inc., Hazelton, Pennsylvania. The workers produce bottle cap
manufacturing machinery.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been
met.
Most of the machinery produced by the subject firm is exported
and sold abroad. Workers at the subject firm are therefore not
affected by imports of the articles they produce. Separations at
the Hazelton facility can be attributed to the company transferring
production abroad.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of ZapatA
Technologies, Inc., Hazelton, Pennsylvania are denied eligibility
to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade
Act of 1974.
