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.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on June 3, 2003 and filed by the company on behalf of
workers at Sound Fish, Inc., Fishing Vessel (F/V) New York,
Hoonah, Alaska. The workers produce fresh salmon.
The investigation revealed that Sound Fish, Inc., Fishing
Vessel (F/V) New York, State of Alaska Commercial Fisheries Entry
Commission Permit # S01A583187, Hoonah, 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 Sound Fish, Inc.,
Fishing Vessel (F/V) New York, State of Alaska Commercial Fisheries
Entry Commission Permit # S01A583187, Hoonah, 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 Sound Fish, Inc., Fishing Vessel (F/V) New
York, Hoonah, Alaska who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after June 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, as amended"
Signed at Washington, D.C., this 13th day of June 2003.
