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 August 20, 2001 in response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers at Glaxo Smith Kline, Piscataway, New Jersey . The workers produce monosodium ticarcillin for the production of injectable penicillin.
A petition for the NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance has not been filed at this time.
This investigation revealed that sales, production and employment at the subject firm decreased in the period of January-August 2001 as compared with the same period 2000.

The investigation also revealed that company imports of monosodium ticarcillin for the production of injectable penicillin have increased in September 2001.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investi-gation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles like
or directly competitive with monosodium ticarcillin for the production of injectable penicillin at Glaxo Smith Kline, Piscataway, New Jersey, contributed importantly to the decline in sales 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 Glaxo Smith Kline, Piscataway, New Jersey, engaged in the production of monosodium ticarcillin, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after August 7, 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 17th day of October, 2001.
