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 by a company official on
behalf of workers at Choctaw Electronics Enterprises, Choctaw,
Mississippi. The workers at the subject firm produce automotive
loudspeakers.
The investigation revealed that sales and employment at the
subject firm declined absolutely from 2000 to 2001.
The Department of Labor surveyed the subject firm's customer
regarding its purchases of automotive loudspeakers. The survey
revealed increases in imports of automotive loudspeakers 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 Choctaw
Electronics Enterprises, Choctaw, Mississippi 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 Choctaw Electronics Enterprises, Choctaw,
Mississippi who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after October 11, 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 9th day of December, 2002.
