SPRINGHOPE, NORTH CAROLINA
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 16, 2001, and filed on behalf of workers at the Premier Circuit Assembly, Springhope, North Carolina. The workers produce cables, wiring harnesses, and electrical components for the telecommunications and computer industries.
The investigation revealed that sales and employment at the subject firm declined absolutely from the first quarter of 2000 to the first quarter of 2001.
A Department of Labor survey of the subject firm's major customers revealed increases in imports of cables and wiring harnesses.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles like or directly competitive with those produced at Premier Circuit Assembly, Springhope, North Carolina 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 the Premier Circuit Assembly, Springhope, North Carolina engaged in employment related to the production of cables, wiring harnesses, and electrical components for the telecommunications and computer industries, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after March 31, 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 18th day of January, 2002.
