Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility
To Apply For Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
mended (19 USC 2273), the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of an investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
The investigation was initiated on March 1, 2004, in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Interface Fabrics Group
Marketing, Inc., Elkin, North Carolina. The workers design, market
and sell broad-woven contract and residential upholstery and panel
fabrics for the commercial interior markets produced by its
affiliate, Interface Fabrics South, Inc.
The investigation revealed that the petitioning workers of
this firm or subdivision do not produce an article within the
meaning of Section 222 of the Act. The Department of Labor has
consistently determined that the performance of services does not
constitute production of an article, as required by Section 222 of
the Trade Act of 1974, and this determination has been upheld in
the U.S. Court of Appeals.
Workers at the firm or subdivision may be certified only if
their separation was caused importantly by a reduced demand for
their services from a parent firm, a firm otherwise related to
their firm by ownership, or a firm related by control. Addition-
ally, the reduction in demand for services must originate at a
production facility whose workers independently meet the statutory
criteria for certification, and the reduction must directly relate
to the product impacted by imports. These conditions have not been
met for workers at this facility.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of
Interface Fabrics Group Marketing, Inc., Elkin, North Carolina are
denied eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under Section
223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C., this day of March, 2004
