Negative Determination 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:
(1) that a significant number or proportion of the workers in
the workers' firm, or an appropriate subdivision thereof,
have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated;
(2) that sales or production, or both, of the firm or sub-
division have decreased absolutely; and
(3) that increases of imports of articles like or directly
competitive with articles produced by the firm or ap-
propriate subdivision have contributed importantly to the
separations, or threat thereof, and to the absolute
decline in sales or production.
The investigation was initiated on September 17, 2001, in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Crowe Rope
Industries, Searsmont, Maine and Winslow, Maine. The workers
produce rope.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been
met.
The subject firm does not import rope.
A survey by the Department of Labor of the Crowe Rope
customers revealed that those customers did not increase their
purchases of imported rope during the relevant period.
Other findings of the investigation show that U.S. imports of
rope decreased in quantity and value in 2001.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of Crowe
Rope Industries, Searsmont, Maine and Winslow, Maine, are denied
eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of
the Trade Act of 1974.
