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 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers and former workers of
Keystone Tool & Machine, Inc., Carlisle, Pennsylvania. The
workers are engaged in the production of custom made molds,
machines and parts.
The investigation revealed that production and employment
levels at the subject firm decreased during the relevant period.
The major declining customer of the subject firm increased its
purchases of imported molds/machines/parts while decreasing
purchases from Keystone Tool & Machine, Inc.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with custom made
molds/machines/parts produced at Keystone Tool & Machine, Inc.,
Carlisle, Pennsylvania 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 Keystone Tool & Machine, Inc., Carlisle,
Pennsylvania who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after April 16, 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 17th day of June, 2002.
