FISHING VESSEL (F/V) LUCY LEWIS
KIPNUK, 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.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on May 12, 2003 and filed by the company on behalf of
workers at Fishing Vessel (F/V) Lucy Lewis, State of Alaska
Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission Permit # S03T57428U,
Kipnuk, Alaska. The workers produce fresh salmon.
The investigation revealed that Fishing Vessel (F/V) Lucy
Lewis, State of Alaska Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission Permit
# S03T57428U, Kipnuk, Alaska, was an upstream supplier of fresh
salmon. The subject firm lost at least 20 percent of its business
with a processor of salmon, whose workers were certified eligible
to apply for trade adjustment assistance.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Fishing Vessel (F/V)
Lucy Lewis, State of Alaska Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission
Permit # S03T57428U, Kipnuk, Alaska qualify as adversely affected
secondary workers under Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
"All workers of Fishing Vessel (F/V) Lucy Lewis, Kipnuk,
Alaska, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after April 28, 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, as
amended"
Signed at Washington, D.C., this 20th day of May 2003.
