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 in response to a petition
received on July 29, 2002, and filed on behalf of workers at
National Electrical Carbon Product, Birmingham, Alabama. The
workers are engaged in employment related to the production of
carbon brushes for DC motors.
The investigation revealed that production and employment at
the subject firm decreased in the period of January through July
2002 as compared with the same period in 2001.
The investigation also revealed that the subject firm
increased their imports of carbon brushes 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 National
Electrical Carbon Product, Birmingham, Alabama 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 National Electrical Carbon Product,
Birmingham, Alabama who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after July 8, 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 6th day of September 2002.
