Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (19 USC 2273), the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of an 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)(B) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated July 10, 2003 in response to a
petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers at Kerr-
McGee Chemical, LLC, Chemical Division, Mobile Facility, Theodore,
Alabama. The workers were engaged in employment related to the
production of synthetic rutile; they are not separately
identifiable by product line.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the subject
firm is related to a shift in plant production of synthetic rutile
to a country (Canada) that is a party to a free trade agreement
with the United States.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that there were layoffs and a shift in
production from the subject firm to Canada of articles that are
like or directly competitive with the articles produced by the
subject firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make
the following certification:
"All workers of Kerr-McGee Chemical, LLC, Chemical Division,
Mobile Facility, Theodore, Alabama, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after June 27, 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 in Washington, D. C. this 24th day of July, 2003.
