MASPETH, NEW YORK
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 its investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance, the group eligibility requirements in either
paragraph (a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act
must be met. It is determined in this case that the requirements
of (a)(2)(A) of Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
initiated on June 6, 2003 and filed on behalf of workers at Ken-
Marc Sales Corp., Maspeth, New York. The workers produce
lighting fixtures and components and are not separately
identifiable by product line.
The investigation revealed that employment, sales and
production declined at the subject firm from 2001 to 2002 and
again from January through May 2003 when compared to the same
time period in 2002.
The investigation also revealed that imports of lighting
fixtures and components by the subject firm increased during the
relevant time period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with lighting fixtures and
components produced at Ken-Marc Sales Corp., Maspeth, New York
contributed importantly to the total or partial separation of
workers and to the decline in sales or production and at that
firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
"All workers of Ken-Marc Sales Corp., Maspeth, New York who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after June 5, 2002 through two years from the date of
certification are eligible to apply for adjustment assis-
tance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 19th day of June 2003.
