OSPREY PACKS, INC.
CORTEZ, COLORADO
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 13, 2002, and filed by
the company on behalf of the workers at Osprey Packs, Inc., Cortez,
Colorado. The workers produce backpacks and daypacks.
The investigation revealed that production and employment
declined at the subject facility during the relevant period.
The company increased their imports of backpacks and daypacks
absolutely during the relevant period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with backpacks and daypacks,
contributed importantly to the to the total or partial separation
of workers at Osprey Packs, Inc., Cortez, Colorado. In accordance
with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Osprey Packs, Inc., Cortez, Colorado, engaged
in employment related to the production of backpacks and
daypacks who become totally or partially separated from
employment on or after May 7, 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 29th day of May, 2002.
