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 sub-
division have decreased absolutely; and
(3) that increases of imports of articles like or directly
competitive with articles produced by the firm or ap-
propriate subdivision have contributed importantly to the
separations, or threat thereof, and to the absolute
decline in sales or production.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on April 30, 2001, filed on behalf of workers at PSC
Scanning, Eugene, Oregon. The workers produced hand held bar code
scanners.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been
met.
The subject firm does not import hand held bar code scanners.
Total United States imports of hand held bar code scanners in
2000 amounted to approximately 3 percent of total American
consumption in that same year.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of PSC
Scanning, Eugene, Oregon, are denied eligibility to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 12th day of February 2002.
