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 separated;
(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 appropriate subdivision have contributed importantly to the separations, or threat thereof, and to the absolute decline in sales or production.
The investigation was initiated on July 16, 2001, in response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at ABC-NACO, Incorporated, Superior, Wisconsin. The workers were engaged in the production of railroad track products, also called specialty trackwork.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been met.
The subject firm did not import railroad track products, also called specialty trackwork.
The U.S. Department of Labor conducted a survey of the major customer of the subject firm. The survey revealed that the respondent did not import railroad track products, also called specialty trackwork during the period under investigation.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of ABC-NACO, Incorporated, Superior, Wisconsin are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 26th day of December, 2001.
