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 in response to a petition
received on January 22, 2002, and filed by the company on behalf
of workers at Hyde Park Foundry, a subsidiary of Akers National
Roll, Hyde Park, Pennsylvania. The workers produce steel rolls.
The investigation revealed that sales, production, and
employment at the subject firm declined from 2000 to 2001.
A Department of Labor survey of the subject firm's major
customers revealed increases in imports of steel rolls during
the relevant period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with those produced at Hyde Park
Foundry, a subsidiary of Akers National Roll, Hyde Park,
Pennsylvania 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 Act, I make
the following certification:
"All workers of the Hyde Park Foundry, a subsidiary of
Akers National Roll, Hyde Park, Pennsylvania who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
November 15, 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 at Washington, D.C., this 20th day of May, 2002.
