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 November 1, 2002, and filed on behalf of workers at
Dunbrooke Sportswear, El Dorado Springs, Missouri. The workers at
the subject firm produced men's jackets.
The investigation revealed that sales, production, and
employment at the subject firm declined during the relevant period.
U.S. imports of men's coats and jackets increased in 2001
compared to 2000 and further increased during the twelve month
period ended March 2002 over the corresponding twelve month period
ended March 2001.
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 Dunbrooke
Sportswear, El Dorado Springs, Missouri, 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 Dunbrooke Sportswear, El Dorado Springs,
Missouri, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after October 21, 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 26th day of November, 2002.
