Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 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 October 15, 2001 and filed on behalf of workers at Tepro of Florida Inc., Clearwater, Florida. The workers are engaged in the production of resistors.
This investigation revealed that sales, production, and employment all decreased during the relevant period.
Company imports increased in January to October, 2001, compared with the same period of the previous year, and it is anticipated imports will continue to increase in 2001, contributing to separations at the subject 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 those produced at the subject firm, contributed importantly to the declines in sales and/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 Tepro of Florida Inc., Clearwater, Florida, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after September 25, 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."
