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 February 25, 2002, and
filed by the company on behalf of workers at ECC Card Clothing,
Inc., a Division of Carclo U.S. Holdings, Inc., Fall River,
Massachusetts. The workers are engaged in employment related to
the production of textile machine parts.
This investigation revealed that sales and employment
declined at the subject plant during the relevant periods.
The company increased their imports of textile machine
parts during the relevant 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 textile machine parts, 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 ECC Card Clothing, Inc., a Division of
Carclo U.S. Holdings, Inc., Fall River, Massachusetts, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after January 14, 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 13th day of March, 2002.
