FISHING VESSEL (F/V) NJORD
ELFIN COVE, 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 July 11, 2003 and filed by the company on behalf of
workers of Fishing Vessel (F/V) Njord, State of Alaska Commercial
Fisheries Entry Commission Permit #S15B61561E, Elfin Cove,
Alaska. The workers produce fresh salmon.
The investigation revealed that the group of workers covered
by State of Alaska Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission Permit
#S15B61561E, Elfin Cove, 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 Fishing Vessel (F/V) Njord, State
of Alaska Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission Permit #S15B61561E,
Elfin Cove, 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 Fishing Vessel (F/V) Njord, State of Alaska
Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission Permit #S15B61561E,
Elfin Cove, Alaska who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after July 8, 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 18th day of July 2003.
