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 on July 30, 2001, and filed on behalf of workers at Dorel Juvenile Group, Inc., formerly Cosco, Inc., Ft. Smith, Arkansas. The workers produced juvenile wood cribs.
The investigation revealed that sales, production and employment declined during the period of this investigation.
Further findings of the investigation revealed that the subject firm is relying on purchases of juvenile wood cribs from abroad.
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 juvenile wood cribs produced at Dorel Juvenile Group, Inc., formerly Cosco, Inc., Ft. Smith, Arkansas, contributed importantly to the decline in sales or 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 Dorel Juvenile Group, Inc., formerly Cosco, Inc., Ft. Smith, Arkansas, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after October 8, 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 9th day of January, 2002.
