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 20, 2003 and filed by the company on behalf of
the group of workers covered by State of Alaska Commercial
Fisheries Entry Commission Permit #S04K649372, Kodiak, Alaska.
The workers produce fresh salmon.
The investigation revealed that the group of workers covered
by State of Alaska Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission Permit
#S04K649372, Kodiak, 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.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that the group of workers covered by
State of Alaska Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission Permit
#S04K649372, Kodiak, 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 covered by State of Alaska Commercial Fisheries
Entry Commission Permit #S04K649372, Kodiak, Alaska who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after May
15, 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 16th day of June 2003.
