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 September 24, 2001, and filed by a company official on
behalf of workers at Bank Manufacturing Company, Havelock, North
Carolina. The workers produce medical apparel and patient gowns.


The investigation revealed that sales and employment at the
subject firm declined absolutely during the relevant period.
A Department of Labor survey of the subject firm's customers
revealed increases in imports of medical apparel and patient gowns
during the relevant period.
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 Bank
Manufacturing Company, Havelock, North Carolina 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 Bank Manufacturing Company, Havelock,
North Carolina engaged in employment related to the production
of medical apparel and patient gowns, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after September 4,
2001, 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 19th day of April, 2002.
