Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC 2813),
as amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification of
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on March 23, 2006,
applicable to workers of C & J Jewelry Co., Inc., Providence, Rhode
Island. The notice was published in the Federal Register on April
12, 2006 (71 FR 18772).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are
engaged in the production of sterling silver jewelry.
New information provided by the State shows that the correct
name of the subject firm is Narragansett Jewelry, Inc., DBA C & J
Jewelry Co., Inc., and including Narragansett Creations, DBA Crest
Craft, Inc. Information also shows that workers separated from
employment at the subject firm had their wages reported under
separate unemployment insurance (UI) tax accounts for Narragansett
Jewelry, DBA C and J Jewelry, and including Narragansett Creations,
DBA Crest Craft, Inc.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to
properly reflect this matter.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include all
workers of Narragansett Jewelry, DBA C & J Jewelry Co., Inc., and
including Narragansett Creations, DBA Crest Craft, Inc. who were
adversely affected by increased imports.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-58,890 is hereby issued
as follows:
"All workers of Narragansett Jewelry, DBA C & J Jewelry Co.,
Inc., and including Narragansett Creations, DBA Crest Craft,
Inc., Providence, Rhode Island, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after February 22,
2005, through March 23, 2008, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974, and are also eligible to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of
1974.”

C & J JEWELRY CO., INC.
PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade 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)(B) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on February 22, 2006 in
response to a petition filed by the State Trade Coordinator on
behalf of workers of C & J Jewelry Co., Inc., Providence, Rhode
Island. The workers produce an array of jewelry products.
The investigation revealed that employment at the subject firm
declined in 2004 through January 2006 as production was being
shifted from the Providence plant to a location in Indonesia. C &
J Jewelry Co., Inc. steadily increased their imports of jewelry in
2005 compared with 2004, and in January 2006 compared with the same
period in 2005.
In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of its investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance (ATAA) for
older workers.
In addition, in order for the Department to issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for ATAA, the group
eligibility requirements of Section 246 of the Trade Act must be
met. The Department has determined in this case that the
requirements of Section 246 have been met.
A significant number of workers at the firm are age 50 or over
and possess skills that are not easily transferable. Competitive
conditions within the industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that there was a shift in production from
the workers’ firm or subdivision to Indonesia of articles that are
like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject
firm or subdivision, and there has been an increase in imports of
like or directly competitive articles. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:



"All workers of C & J Jewelry Co., Inc., Providence, Rhode
Island who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 22, 2005 through two years
from the date of certification are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974, and are also eligible to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of
1974."
