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 on June 25, 2001 in response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at NYCO Minerals, Inc., Wilsboro, New York. The workers were engaged in activity related to the production of wollastonite.
The investigation revealed that sales, production and employment levels at the subject facilities declined during the relevant time period.
The investigation also revealed that import purchases of wollastonite increased during the period of sales and production declines at the subject company.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles like or directly competitive with wollastonite produced at NYCO Minerals, Inc., Wilsboro, New York, 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 NYCO Minerals, Inc., Wilsboro, New York, engaged in the production of wolastonite, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after May 31, 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 15th day of October 2001.
