BOGNER OF AMERICA, INC.
NEWPORT, VERMONT
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 December 10, 2001, in
response to a petition filed by the company on behalf of workers
at Bogner of America, Inc., Newport, Vermont. The workers are
engaged in employment related to the production of ski apparel.
This investigation revealed that sales and employment at
the subject plant decreased during the period under
investigation.
The Department conducted a survey of the subject firms'
major customers regarding their purchases of ski apparel during
the relevant period. The survey revealed increased purchases
from other domestic sources that had ski apparel manufactured in
a foreign country during the relevant period.
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 by Bogner of America,
Inc., Newport, Vermont, 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
Trade Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers at Bogner of America, Inc., Newport, Vermont,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after November 21, 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."
