DUPONT BEAUMONT WORKS
BEAUMONT, TEXAS
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 March 4, 2002, in
response to a petition filed by the company on behalf of workers
at DuPont Beaumont Works, Beaumont, Texas. The workers were
engaged in the production of ammonia.
The investigation revealed that production and employment
declined during the relevant period.
The investigation also revealed that the company is
increasing imports of ammonia.
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 ammonia produced by DuPont Beaumont
Works, Beaumont, Texas, 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 Dupont Beaumont Works, Beaumont, Texas, 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."
