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 September 30, 2002, in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at American
Tramways, Inc., a division of Doppelmayr CTEC, Inc., Watertown,
New York. The workers are engaged in employment related to the
production of aerial tramways and chairlifts.
The investigation revealed production and employment at the
subject firm decreased during the period under investigation.
The investigation also revealed that the subject firm
increased their imports of aerial tramways and chairlifts during
the relevant period.
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 aerial tramways and chairlifts
manufactured at American Tramways, Inc., a division of Doppelmayr
CTEC, Inc., Watertown, New York, 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 American Tramways, Inc., a division of
Doppelmayr CTEC, Inc., Watertown, New York who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
September 10, 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 3rd day of October, 2002.
