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 the company on behalf of
workers at Advanced Fiberglass Yarns, Huntingdon, Pennsylvania.
The workers produce fiberglass yarns
The investigation revealed that sales, production, and
employment at the subject firm declined absolutely from 2000 to
2001 and again from January to September 2002 when compared to the
same time period in 2001.
A Department of Labor survey of the subject firm's major
customers revealed increases in imports of fiberglass yarns 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 Advanced
Fiberglass Yarns, Huntingdon, 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 Advanced Fiberglass Yarns, Huntingdon,
Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after October 15, 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 21st day of November, 2002.
