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 for secondary workers to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance, the group eligibility requirements of
paragraph (b) of Section 222 of the Trade Act, as amended, must be
met. It is determined in this case that the requirements of (b) of
Section 222, as amended, have been met.
The investigation was initiated on in response to a petition
received on May 15, 2003 in response to a petition filed on behalf
of workers at C & D Apparel, Tellico Plains, Tennessee. The
workers produce men's and boy's jackets and shirts.
The investigation revealed that C & D Apparel, Tellico Plains,
Tennessee supplies men's and boy's jackets and shirts for DCB
Corporation, Madisonville, Tennessee, and at least 20 percent of
its production or sales is supplied to a manufacturer whose workers
were certified eligible to apply for adjustment assistance.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of C & D Apparel, Tellico
Plains, Tennessee 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 C & D Apparel, Tellico Plains, Tennessee who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after May 9, 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 3rd day of June, 2003.
