FISHING VESSEL (F/V) MATTIE LYNN
NINILCHIK, 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 16, 2003 in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of
Fishing Vessel (F/V) Mattie Lynn, Ninilchik, Alaska. The workers
produced fresh and chilled salmon.
The investigation revealed that Fishing Vessel (F/V) Mattie
Lynn, Ninilchik, Alaska, State of Alaska Commercial Fisheries Entry
Commission Permit # S03A61732Q, is an upstream supplier of fresh
and chilled 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.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases in imports of processed
salmon, contributed importantly to the total or partial separation
of Fishing Vessel (F/V) Mattie Lynn, State of Alaska Commercial
Fisheries Entry Commission Permit # S03A61732Q, Ninilchik, Alaska.
In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
"All workers of Fishing Vessel (F/V) Mattie Lynn, Ninilchik,
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."
Signed at Washington, D.C., this 30th day of May, 2003.
