FISHING VESSEL (F/V) VAGABOND QUEEN
HOONAH, ALASKA
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 an investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance as a secondarily affected
worker group.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance,
the group eligibility requirements under Section 222(b) must be
met. It has been determined in this case that the requirements of
Section 222(b) are met.
The investigation was initiated on May 6, 2003 in response to
a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of F/V
Vagabond Queen, State of Alaska Commercial Fisheries Entry
Commission Permit #S01A55964Z, Hoonah, Alaska. The workers of the
subject group produce fresh and chilled salmon.
During the period of April 2002 through March 2003, sales and
employment of the subject group decreased absolutely when compared
to the same period one year prior.
The investigation revealed that F/V Vagabond Queen, Hoonah,
Alaska, is an upstream supplier of fresh and chilled salmon to a
processor whose workers were certified eligible to apply for trade
adjustment assistance based on increased customer imports of
processed salmon and who accounted for at least 20 percent of the
sales of the subject group.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increases in imports of processed
salmon, contributed importantly to the total or partial separation
of Fishing Vessel (F/V) Vagabond Queen, State of Alaska Commercial
Fisheries Entry Commission Permit #S01A55964Z, Hoonah, Alaska.
In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
"All workers of Fishing Vessel (F/V) Vagabond Queen, State of
Alaska Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission Permit
#S01A55964Z, Hoonah, Alaska who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after May 2, 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 at Washington, D.C., this 12th day of May, 2003.
