Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (19 USC 2273), 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 Trade Adjustment
Assistance, the group eligibility requirements in either paragraph
(a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act must be met.
It is determined in this case that the requirements of (a)(2)(B) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on November 21, 2002 and filed on behalf of workers at PCC
Airfoils, LLC, Douglas, Georgia. The workers produce castings for
turbine airfoils. Workers are not separately identifiable by
product.
The investigation revealed that a significant portion of
workers at the subject company have been separated or are
threatened with separation from employment and that sales and
production at the subject company declined absolutely during the
relevant time period.
The investigation also revealed the subject firm has shifted
production to Mexico in the relevant period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that there was a shift in production from
the workers' firm or subdivision to Mexico of articles that are
like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject
firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Act,
I make the following certification:
"All workers of PCC Airfoils, LLC, Douglas, Georgia who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
November 18, 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, as amended."
