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, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of its 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)(A) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on March 7, 2003, in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers at
DCB Corporation, Madisonville, Tennessee. The workers at the
subject firm produced men and boys uniforms (shirts and pants).
The investigation revealed that plant production and
employment recently decreased.

The investigation further revealed that U.S. aggregate imports
of products like or directly competitive with what the subject
plant produced increased 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 men and boys uniforms (shirts
and pants) produced at DCB Corporation, Madisonville, Tennessee
contributed importantly to the total or partial separation of
workers and to the decline in sales or production and at that firm
or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I
make the following certification:
"All workers of DCB Corporation, Madisonville, Tennessee who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after February 26, 2002 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 in Washington, D. C. this 16th day of April, 2003.
