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 on October 14, 2003, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
the workers at Keith Dennis Company, LLC, Dandridge, Tennessee.
The workers produce blood pressure cuffs.
The investigation revealed that sales, production, and
employment at the subject firm declined from January through
September 2003 when compared to the same period in 2002.
The Department of Labor surveyed the subject firm's major
customers regarding their purchases of blood pressure cuffs.
This survey revealed increases in customer imports of blood
pressure cuffs 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 those produced at Keith Dennis
Company, LLC, Dandridge, Tennessee contributed importantly to
the decline in sales or production and to the total or partial
separation of workers of that firm. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of the Keith Dennis Company, LLC, Dandridge,
Tennessee who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after October 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."
Signed at Washington, D.C., this 30th day of October, 2003.
