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 eligi-
bility 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 June 10, 2002, in
response to the U.S. Department of Labor's Negative Determination
Regarding Eligibility To Apply For NAFTA Transitional Adjustment
Assistance, applicable to workers at Parksley Apparel, Parksley,
Virginia (NAFTA-5962). The workers are engaged in employment
related to the production of women's blouses.
The investigation revealed that production and employment at
the subject firm decreased during the period under investigation.
The investigation further revealed the U.S. import/shipment
ratio for women's and girl's blouses and shirts was 399.0 percent
in 2000.
U.S. imports of women's and girl's blouses and shirts
increased absolutely from 2000 to 2001.
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 blouses produced at Parksley
Apparel, Parksley, Virginia, 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 at Parksley Apparel, Parksley, Virginia,
engaged in employment related to the production of blouses,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after May 24, 2001 through two years from the date of
certification are eligible to apply for adjustment assis-
tance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 11th day of June, 2002.
