REGAL ORIGINALS, INC.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK
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 by a company official on behalf of
workers at Regal Originals, Inc., New York, New York. The
workers are engaged in employment related to the production of
women's dresses.
The investigation revealed that sales and employment
declined at the subject company during the period under
investigation.
Data for womens' and girls' dresses reveal that the U.S.
import/shipment ratio was 143.1 percent in 2000 and 153.4
percent in the twelve-month period ending September 2001.
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 by the subject firm
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 Regal Originals, Inc., New York, New York,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after February 5, 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 at Washington, D.C., this 13th day of May, 2002.
