AMERICAN DRILLBOX COMPANY
CARUTHERSVILLE, MISSOURI
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 30, 2001 and filed by a company official on behalf of workers at American Drillbox Company, Caruthersville, Missouri. The workers were engaged in the production of metal boxes, plastics, and metal indexes.
The investigation revealed that sales, production, and employment levels at the subject company declined during the relevant time period.
The subject company has increased its import purchases during the relevant time 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 those produced at American Drillbox Company, Caruthersville, Missouri, 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 American Drillbox Company, Caruthersville, Missouri, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after July 18, 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 12th day of September 2001.
