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 February 11, 2002, and filed by the company on behalf of workers at Materials Processing, Inc., Coatings Division, Riverview, Michigan. The workers produce coated axles for the automotive industry.
The investigation revealed that production and employment at the subject plant decreased during the relevant period. The company has increased their reliance on imported coated axles during the same 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 coated axles produced at Materials Processing, Inc., Riverview, Michigan, 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 Materials Processing, Inc., Coatings Division, Riverview, Michigan, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after January 8, 2001 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 in Washington, D. C. this 8th day of March 2002.
