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 28, 2002, and filed on behalf of the workers
at Rollway Bearing Corporation, Liverpool, New York. The
workers produce cylindrical bearings. The workers are not
separately identifiable by product line.
The investigation revealed that sales, production, and
employment at the subject firm declined from 2000 to 2001 and
also from January through August of 2002 when compared to
January through August of 2001.
The Department of Labor surveyed the subject firm's major
customers regarding their purchases of cylindrical bearings.
This survey revealed increases in customer imports of
cylindrical bearings during the relevant time 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 Rollway
Bearing Corporation, Liverpool, 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 the Rollway Bearing Corporation, Liverpool,
New York, engaged in employment related to the production
of cylindrical bearings, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after September 25, 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 11th day of December, 2002.
