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 February 4, 2002, and filed by the company on behalf of
workers at Wabash Aluminum Alloys LLC, Bellwood Plant, Richmond,
Virginia. The workers produce aluminum deoxidizers.
The investigation revealed that sales, production, and
employment declined from 2000 to 2001.
The investigation further revealed that company imports of
aluminum deoxidizers increased absolutely 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 aluminum deoxidizers produced by
Wabash Aluminum Alloys LLC, Bellwood Plant, Richmond, Virginia,
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 Wabash Aluminum Alloys LLC, Bellwood Plant,
Richmond, Virginia, engaged in employment related to the
production of aluminum deoxidizers, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after December 13,
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 21st day of March, 2002.
