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 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:
(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
subdivision have decreased absolutely; and
(3) that increases of imports of articles like or directly
competitive with articles produced by the firm or
appropriate 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 re
sponse to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Camrose
Technologies, L.L.C., Ada, Oklahoma. The workers are engaged in
producing plastic injection molded automobile parts.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been
met.
The investigation revealed that there were no company im-
ports of articles like or directly competitive with the plastic
injection molded automobile parts produced by Camrose Technolo
gies, L.L.C., Ada, Oklahoma.
The U.S. Department of Labor conducted a survey of major
customers of Camrose Technologies, L.L.C., Ada, Oklahoma, regard
ing their purchases of plastic injection molded automobile parts
in 1999, 2000, and the first-quarter of 2001. The survey re
vealed that no respondent reported importing molded automobile
parts while decreasing purchases from the subject firm during the
relevant time period.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of
Camrose Technologies, L.L.C., Ada, Oklahoma are denied eligi-
bility 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.
