GREENEVILLE, TENNESSEE
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 August 13, 2001, and filed on behalf of workers at the Alltrista Zinc Products, L.P., Greeneville, Tennessee. The workers produced zinc battery shells.
The investigation revealed that sales, production, and employment at the subject firm declined absolutely during the relevant period.
The subject firm reported no imports of zinc battery shells during the period under investigation.
A Department of Labor survey of the subject firm's major customer revealed increases in imports of zinc battery shells.
A petition for eligibility for NAFTA-Transitional Adjustment Assistance has been filed on behalf of workers at the subject firm (NAFTA-5160).
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 Alltrista Zinc Products, L.P., Greeneville, Tennessee 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 the Alltrista Zinc Products, L.P., Greeneville, Tennessee engaged in employment related to the production of zinc battery shells, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after July 26, 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 23rd day of January, 2002.
