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 September 10, 2001, and filed by the company on behalf of workers at Interroll Corporation, Wilmington, North Carolina. The workers produce carton and pallet flow storage.
The investigation revealed that sales, production and employment decreased, while company imports of competitive products increased, all within the relevant period.

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 carton and pallet flow storage produced at Interroll Corporation, Wilmington, North Carolina, contributed importantly to the decline in sales or production and to the total or partial separation of workers of the subject firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Interroll Corporation, Wilmington, North Carolina, engaged in the production of carton and pallet flow storage, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after July 12, 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 23rd day of October 2001.
