Negative Determination 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.
The investigation was initiated on November 19, 2004, in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Cambria
Somerset Authority, Wilmore and Hinckston Reservoirs, Johnstown,
Pennsylvania. The workers store and convey water to industrial
sites.
The investigation revealed that Cambria Somerset Authority,
Wilmore and Hinckston Reservoirs, Johnstown, Pennsylvania
neither produces an article nor performs activities related to
production of an article at an affiliated facility within the
meaning of Section 222(a)(2) of the Act. In order to be
considered eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, the worker group seeking
certification must work for a "firm" or appropriate subdivision
that produces an article and there must be a relationship
between the workers' work and the article produced by the
workers' firm or appropriate subdivision. The petitioning
worker group seeking certification does not support a firm or
appropriate subdivision that produces an article and thus the
worker group can not be considered import impacted or affected
by a shift in production of an article.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of
Cambria Somerset Authority, Wilmore and Hinckston Reservoirs,
Johnstown, Pennsylvania are denied eligibility to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 8th day of December 2004.
