STATE OF THE ART, INC.
STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA
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 June 24, 2002, and filed by the company on behalf of
workers at State of the Art, Inc., State College, Pennsylvania.
The workers produce thick and thin film chip resistors.
The investigation revealed that sales and employment at the
subject firm declined during the period under investigation.
A Department of Labor survey of the subject firm's major
customers revealed increases in imports of thick and thin film chip
resistors 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 those produced at State of the
Art, Inc., State College, Pennsylvania 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 State of the Art, Inc., State College,
Pennsylvania engaged in employment related to the production
of thick and thin film chip resistors, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after June 14, 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 at Washington, D.C., this 29th day of August, 2002.
