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 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. It is determined in this case that all of the requirements have been met.
The investigation was initiated on 7/30/01, in response to a petition filed by United Steel Workers of America, local 1999 on behalf of workers at Rexnord Corporation, Indianapolis, Indiana. The workers are engaged in employment related to the production of industrial roller chains. Workers are not separately identifiable by product.
The investigation revealed that sales, production and employment at the subject plant decreased while company imports of industrial roller chains increased during the same period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investi-gation, I conclude that there was an increase in imports of articles that are like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Trade Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers at Rexnord Corporation, Indianapolis, Indiana who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after August 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."
Signed at Washington, D.C., this 24th day of September, 2001.
