D J SUMMERS
NEW YORK, NEW YORK
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 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. 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 May 7, 2001 and filed on behalf of workers at D J
Summers, New York, New York. The workers produced women's
dresses.
The investigation revealed that women's dresses produced by
D J Summers are marketed through normal retail channels. Thus,
the articles manufactured by the subject firm have been impacted
importantly by the high penetration of imports into this market.
U.S. imports of women's and girls' dresses increased abso
lutely in 1999, compared to 1998, and increased absolutely in the
twelve-month period October-September 1999-2000 compared to the
same period in 1998-1999. In the twelve-month period ended
September 2000, the ratio of imports to domestic production was
more than 143%.
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 women's dresses produced at D J Sum
mers, New York, New York 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 D J Summers, New York, New York who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
April 23, 2000 through two years from the date of certifica
tion are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."
