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 eli-
gibility 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, filed on behalf of workers at Dunbrooke
Industries, Inc., Orange City, Hawarden, Marcus, and Rock Rapids,
Iowa. The workers produced caps.
Investigation findings revealed that the subject plant
experienced declines in sales, production and levels of employment.
The investigation also showed that the subject firm has
significantly increased its imports of caps during the past year.
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 those produced by Dunbrooke Industries,
Inc., Orange City, Hawarden, Marcus, and Rock Rapids, Iowa,
contributed importantly to the decline in sales and production and
to the total or partial separation of workers of the subject firm.
In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers at Dunbrooke Industries, Inc., Orange City,
Hawarden, Marcus, and Rock Rapids, Iowa, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or
after March 23, 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 3rd day of May 2001.
