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 May 6, 2002, and filed by
the company on behalf of workers at Mount Vernon Mills, Inc.,
Alto Yarn Division, Alto, Georgia. The workers produced open end
yarn.
The investigation revealed that sales, production and
employment declined during the period of this investigation.
The U.S. Department of Labor conducted a survey of the
subject firm's customers regarding their purchases of open end
yarn. The respondents indicated increased import purchases of
open end yarn from abroad during the relevant periods.
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 open end yarn produced at Mount Vernon
Mills, Inc., Alto Yarn Division, Alto, Georgia, contributed
importantly to the decline in sales or production and to the
total or partial separation of workers of the subject firm. In
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of Mount Vernon Mills, Inc., Alto Yarn
Division, Alto, Georgia, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after April 12, 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 5th day of July, 2002.
