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 in response to a petition
received on July 2, 2001, and filed by on behalf of workers at Pasco
Beverage Co., Pasco Processing LLC, Bartow, Florida. The workers
were engaged in employment related to the production of beverage
bases.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm experienced
absolute declines in sales, production, and employment during the
relevant period.
Furthermore, the investigation revealed that there were
substantial increases in company imports of beverage bases 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 beverage bases produced by Pasco
Beverage Co., Pasco Processing LLC, Bartow, Florida, 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 Pasco Processing LLC, Bartow, Florida, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after
June 15, 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."
