ARMSTRONG HUNT INC.
MILTON, FLORIDA
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 Armstrong-Hunt Inc., Milton, Florida. The workers are engaged in the production of unit heaters, heat exchangers and tank heaters.
This investigation revealed that the subject plant ceased production in September of 2001, reducing employment to zero.
The investigation further revealed that the company is now using foreign production to supply the customer base of the subject facility.
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 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 Armstrong-Hunt Inc., Milton, Florida, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after October 14, 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 14th day of December, 2001
