COLUMBUS INDUSTRIES, INC.
ASHVILLE, OHIO
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 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:
(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 sepa-
rated;
(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
appro-priate subdivision have contributed importantly
to the separations, or threat thereof, and to the
absolute decline in sales or production.
The investigation was initiated on June 13, 2001 in response
to a petition filed by employees at Columbus Industries, Inc.,
Ashville, Ohio, on behalf of the workers at the Ashville, Ohio
facility. The workers produced air filters.
The investigation revealed that criterion (2) has not been
met.
Information provided by the subject firm indicated large
increases in both sales and production over the relevant period
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of
Columbus Industries, Inc., Ashville, Ohio are denied eligibility
to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade
Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this day of August, 2001
