Based on these findings, the Department is amending this certification to include workers of DyStar L.P., Headquarters Office, Charlotte, North Carolina.
The intent of the Department=s certification is to include all workers of DyStar L.P. who were adversely affected by increased imports.

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 eli-gibility 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 29, 2001, filed on behalf of workers at DyStar L.P., Mt. Holly, North Carolina. The workers produced dyes used in the textile and apparel industries.
Investigation findings revealed that the subject plant experienced declines in sales, production, and levels of employment. The plant is now closed.
The investigation also showed that the subject firm has increased its imports of dyes for the textile and apparel industries.
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 those produced by DyStar L.P., Mt. Holly, North Carolina, contributed importantly to the decline in sales and 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 at DyStar L.P., Mt. Holly, North Carolina, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after May 15, 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.@
