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 May 14, 2001, and filed on behalf of workers at Federal
Mogul, Abex Friction Product, Salisbury, North Carolina. The
workers at the subject firm produced brake pads.
The investigation revealed that sales, production, and
employment at the subject firm declined absolutely during the
relevant period. The subject firm closed on April 13, 2001.
Furthermore, the investigation revealed that there were
substantial and increasing United States aggregate imports of brake
pads during the relevant period.
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 Federal Mogul,
Abex Friction Product, Salisbury, North Carolina, contributed
importantly to the decline in sales or production and to the total
or partial separation of workers at this facility. In accordance
with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Federal Mogul, Abex Friction Product,
Salisbury, North Carolina, engaged in employment related to
the production of brake pads, became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after May 3, 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 July, 2002.
