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 on May 7, 2001, in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Electro Technology,
Inc., Muscle Shoals, Alabama. The workers produced transformers.
This investigation revealed that sales, production and
employment at the subject firm declined during the relevant
periods.
The new owner of the subject firm is relying on imports of
transformers in the relevant time period.
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 transformers produced at Electro
Technology, Inc., Muscle Shoals, Alabama, contributed importantly
to the decline in sales or 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 of Electro Technology, Inc., Muscle Shoals,
Alabama, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after April 18, 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 in Washington, D. C. this 29th day of August, 2001.
