FREDERICK GOLDMAN, INC.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK

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 in response to a petition
received on April 15, 2003 and filed on behalf of workers at
Frederick Goldman, Inc., New York, New York. The workers produce
fine jewelry.
The investigation revealed that plant sales, production and
employment declined during the relevant period.
The investigation further revealed that the company
increased their imports of fine jewelry during the relevant
period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with power amplifiers produced at
Frederick Goldman, Inc., New York, New York contributed
importantly to the total or partial separation of workers and to
the decline in sales or production at that firm or subdivision.
In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
"All workers of Frederick Goldman, Inc., New York, New York
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after April 15, 2002 through two years from the date of
certification are eligible to apply for adjustment assis-
tance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 23rd day of May, 2003.
