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 in response to a petition
received on April 15, 2002, and filed by the company behalf of
workers at Camfil Farr, Jonesboro, Arkansas. The petition was
filed on behalf of workers producing air filtration systems and
filters.
Findings of this investigation revealed that sales,
production and employment at the subject plant declined in the
relevant time period.
Further findings revealed that the major contributing factor
to the layoffs at Camfil Farr, Jonesboro, Arkansas is related to
company imports of air filtration systems and filters from abroad.




Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with air filtration systems and
filters produced by Camfil Farr, Jonesboro, Arkansas, 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 Camfil Farr, Jonesboro, Arkansas, engaged in
the production of air filtration systems and filters who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after March 28, 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 1st day of July, 2002.
