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 July 2, 2001, and filed by workers at Chicago Miniature Lamps, Wynnewood, Oklahoma. The workers produce miniature neon lamps, which are used in the appliance industry as indicator lights.
This investigation revealed that production and employment declined significantly at the subject plant during the relevant periods.
The company increased their imports of miniature neon lamps in 2000 and 2001 while decreasing production at the Wynnewood, Oklahoma plant.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles like or directly competitive with those produced at Chicago Miniature Lamps, Wynnewood, Oklahoma, contributed importantly to the decline in sales or 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 of Chicago Miniature Lamps, Wynnewood, Oklahoma, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after June 11, 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."
