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 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:
(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 subdivision have decreased absolutely; and
(3) that increases of imports of articles like or directly competitive with articles produced by the firm or appropriate subdivision have contributed importantly to the separations, or threat thereof, and to the absolute decline in sales or production.
The investigation was initiated on May 29, 2001, in response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Capco Machinery Systems, Inc., Roanoke, Virginia. The workers produce roll grinding machines.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been met.
The Department surveyed the domestic manufacturer for which the subject firm placed a bid, during the time period relevant to this investigation, for roll grinding machines. Results of the survey indicated that the bid had not been awarded.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of Capco Machinery Systems, Inc., Roanoke, Virginia, are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 5th day of November, 2001.
