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 13, 2001 and filed on behalf of workers at Meadowbrook Company, div. of T. L. Diamond & Co., Spelter, West Virginia. The workers produce zinc dust.
A petition for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment has been filed on behalf of workers at the subject firm (NAFTA - 5299).
This investigation revealed that the subject firm experienced reduced sales and production levels during the relevant period. The subject firm increased its imports of zinc dust.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles like or directly competitive with zinc dust produced by Meadowbrook Company, Division of T. L. Diamond & Co., Spelter, West Virginia 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 Meadowbrook Company, Division of T. L. Diamond & Co., Spelter, West Virginia, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after July 12, 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 18th day of September, 2001.
