PRESTO PRODUCTS MANUFACTURING COMPANY
ALAMOGORDO, NEW MEXICO
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 October 7, 2002 and filed on behalf of workers at Presto
Products Manufacturing Company, Alamogordo, New Mexico. The workers
were engaged in the production of small kitchen appliances.
The investigation revealed that all employment and production
at the subject plant has ceased and a full program of appliance
importation has been inaugurated by the subject firm.
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 kitchen appliances produced at Presto
Products Manufacturing Company, Alamogordo, New Mexico 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 Presto Products Manufacturing Company,
Alamogordo, New Mexico who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after September 19, 2001 are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223
of the Trade Act of 1974."
