DOMINO AMJET, INC.

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 eligi-
bility 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 January 28, 2002 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Domino
Amjet, Inc., Gurnee, Illinois. The workers produce industrial
coding printers primarily to print the number on labels.
A petition for the NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance
has not been filed on behalf of workers at the subject plant.
This investigation revealed that production and employment
at the subject firm decreased in the period of January-December
2001 as compared with the same period in 2000.


The investigation also revealed that company imports of
industrial-coding printers used primarily to print the number on
labels increased in January-December 2001 as compared with the
same period in 2000 and continued to increase in the first month
of 2002.
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 industrial coding printers produced
at Domino Amjet, Inc., Gurnee, Illinois, 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 Domino Amjet, Inc., Gurnee, Illinois, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after November 20, 2000, through two years from the date of
certification are eligible to apply for adjustment assis-
tance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."

Signed in Washington, D. C. this 4th day of March, 2002.
