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 18, 2002, in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Evy of
California, Bakersfield, California. Workers at the subject
firm produce girls' and children's apparel.
The subject facility has experienced a decline in
employment and production during the period under investigation.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm increased
competitive imports in the relevant period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investi-
gation, I conclude that increases in imports of products like or
directly competitive with those produced at Evy of California,
Bakersfield, California, 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
Trade Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers at Evy of California, Bakersfield,
California, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after February 18, 2001,
through two years from 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 25th day of March, 2002.
