Negative Determination 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 eligi-
bility 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:
(1) that a significant number or proportion of the workers
in the workers' firm, or an appropriate subdivision
thereof, have become totally or partially separated,
or are threatened to become totally or partially
separated;
(2) that sales or production, or both, of the firm or
subdivision have decreased absolutely; and
(3) that increases of imports of articles like or directly
competitive with articles produced by the firm or
appropriate subdivision have contributed importantly to
the separations, or threat thereof, and to the absolute
decline in sales or production.
The investigation was initiated on November 25, 2002, in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Talley Metals
Technology, Inc., Mc Bee, South Carolina. The workers produce
stainless steel stock.
The investigation revealed that criterion (1) has not been
met.
The investigation revealed that employment of production work-
ers at the subject firm increased in 2001 compared with 2000, and
increased in January-October 2002 compared with the same period in
2001.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Talley Metals
Technology, Inc., Mc Bee, South Carolina are denied eligibility
to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade
Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 29th day of January, 2003.
