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 in response to a petition received on August 27, 2001 and filed on behalf of workers at Bonifay Manufacturing Inc., Bonifay, Florida. The workers produced men's and boys' knit shirts.
The investigation revealed that men's and boys' knit shirts produced by Bonifay Manufacturing Inc. are marketed through normal retail channels. Thus, the articles manufactured by the subject firm have been impacted importantly by the high penetration of imports into this market.
U.S. imports of men's and boys' shirts increased absolutely in 2000, compared to 1999. In 1999, the ratio of imports to U.S. shipments was more than 180%.
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 men's and boys' knit shirts produced at Bonifay Manufacturing Inc., Bonifay, Florida 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 Bonifay Manufacturing Inc., Bonifay, Florida who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after August 10, 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."
