Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on
September 30, 2002, applicable to workers of Pfaltzgraff Company,
also known as Susquehanna Pfaltzgraff, located in York,
Pennsylvania. The notice was published in the Federal Register
on October 22, 2002 (67 FR 64923).
At the request of a company official, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The
workers produce dinnerware. The company official reports that
worker separations have occurred at the company's dinnerware
production plants in Thomasville and Dover, Pennsylvania.
Since corporate-wide sales have declined and company imports
have increased, the Department is amending the certification to
include workers at the plants in Thomasville and Dover,
Pennsylvania.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-41,917 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Pfaltzgraff Company, also known as
Susquehanna Pfaltzgraff, York, Pennsylvania (TA-W-41,917),
Thomasville, Pennsylvania (TA-W-41,917A), and Dover,
Pennsylvania (TA-W-41,917B), who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after July 12, 2001, through
September 30, 2004, are eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."
Signed at Washington, D.C., this 3rd day of December, 2002.

YORK, 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 August 5, 2002, and filed on behalf of workers at The
Pfaltzgraff Company, also known as Susquehanna Pfaltzgraff, York,
Pennsylvania. The workers produce tabletop dinnerware and are not
separately identifiable by product line.
The investigation revealed that sales, production, and
employment declined during the relevant period.
The investigation further revealed that the subject firm
increased imports of tabletop dinnerware during the relevant
period.
A petition for eligibility to apply for NAFTA-Transitional
Adjustment Assistance has been filed on behalf of workers at the
subject firm (NAFTA-6387).
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with tabletop dinnerware produced by
The Pfaltzgraff Company, also known as Susquehanna Pfaltzgraff,
York, 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 The Pfaltzgraff Company, also known as
Susquehanna Pfaltzgraff, York, Pennsylvania engaged in
employment related to the production of tabletop dinnerware,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after July 12, 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."
