HOFFMAN MATERIALS, INC.
CARLISLE, PENNSYLVANIA
Negative Determination 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:
(1) that a significant number or proportion of the workers
in the workers' firm, or an appropriate subdivision
thereof, have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separat-
ed;
(2) that sales or production, or both, of the firm or
subdivision have decreased absolutely; and
(3) that increases of imports of articles like or directly
competitive with articles produced by the firm or
appropriate subdivision have contributed importantly to
the separations, or threat thereof, and to the absolute
decline in sales or production.
The investigation was initiated on April 15, 2002, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers at Hoffman Materials, Inc., Carlisle, Pennsylvania. The
workers are engaged in the production of saw wafers.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been
met.
The subject firm did not import wafers products.
The U.S. Department of Labor conducted a survey of the major
customers of the subject firm. The survey revealed that the
major customers did not import wafers in 2000 through March 2002.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of
Hoffman Materials, Inc., Carlisle, Pennsylvania are denied eligi-
bility to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of
the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 28th day of June, 2002.
