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 October 9, 2001, and filed on behalf of workers at Mirello Manufacturing, Cartersville, Georgia. The workers were engaged in employment related to the production of English horse riding apparel.
This investigation revealed that sales, production and employment declined at the subject plant during the relevant periods. The plant closed in August 2001.
The company increased imports of English horse riding apparel replacing production at the Cartersville, Georgia plant.
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 English horse riding apparel produced at Mirello Manufacturing, Cartersville, Georgia, contributed importantly to the decline in sales and 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 Mirello Manufacturing, Cartersville, Georgia, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after September 18, 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 12th day of December, 2001.
