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 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. 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 June 18, 2001 and filed on behalf of workers at Phelps Dodge Morenci, Inc., Morenci, Arizona. The workers are engaged in the production of copper cathode.
The investigation revealed that production, sales and employment declined during the relevant period.
The company is a major domestic producer of copper in the United States. Aggregate U.S. imports of refined copper increased significantly during the year 2000 period, followed by further increases in early 2001. U.S. production of refined copper declined during the corresponding period. The U.S. import penetration ratio of refined copper increased significantly 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 copper produced at Phelps Dodge Morenci, Inc., Morenci, Arizona contributed importantly to the decline in sales or production and to the total or partial separation of workers of that firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Phelps Dodge Morenci, Inc., Morenci, Arizona who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after June 4, 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 11th day of December, 2001.
