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, and
filed by a company official on behalf of workers at BioKyowa,
Inc, a Subsidiary of Kyowa Hakko Kogyo, Ltd, Cape Girardeau,
Missouri. The workers are engaged in employment related to the
production of lysine, an amino acid feed supplement.
This investigation revealed that sales and employment
declined at the subject plant during the relevant periods.
A survey was conducted of the subject company's major
customers regarding their purchases of lysine. The survey
revealed that while reducing purchases from BioKyowa, there was
an increase in the amount of lysine purchased from other
domestic sources that was wholly manufactured in a foreign
country.
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 lysine, 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 BioKyowa, Inc., a Subsidiary of Kyowa Hakko
Kogyo, Ltd, Cape Girardeau, Missouri, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after December
12, 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."
