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.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility for secondary workers to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance, the group eligibility requirements of
paragraph (b) of Section 222 of the Trade Act, as amended, must be
met. It is determined in this case that the requirements of (b) of
Section 222, as amended, have been met.
The investigation was initiated on October 26, 2004 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Kamei Garment
Company, Inc., San Francisco, California. The workers at the
subject firm produce components of women's casual apparel.
The investigation revealed that Kamei Garment Company, Inc.,
San Francisco, California, produces components of women's causal
apparel, and at least 20 percent of its production or sales are
supplied to a manufacturer of women's casual apparel 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 workers of Kamei Garment Company,
Inc., San Francisco, California, 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 Kamei Garment Company, Inc., San Francisco,
California, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after September 29, 2003, 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 23rd day of November, 2004
