Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a Firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on February 24, 2010, by a company official on behalf of
workers of Narriot Industries, LLC, Boykins, Virginia. The
workers produce narrow webbing products.
The investigation revealed that workers of Narriot
Industries, who are engaged in employment related to production
of narrow webbing products, meet the criteria for
certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number of workers have been separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of narrow webbing products by Narriot
Industries have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of articles like or directly competitive with narrow
webbing products produced by Narriot Industries have
increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased customer imports of narrow webbing products
contributed importantly to the worker group separations and
sales/production declines at Narriot Industries.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Narriot Industries,
LLC, Boykins, Virginia, who are engaged in employment related to
production of narrow webbing products, meet the worker group
certification criteria under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Narriot Industries, LLC, Boykins,
Virginia, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 22, 2009, through two years
from the date of certification, and all workers in the
group threatened with total or partial separation from
employment on the date of certification through two years
from the date of certification, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the
Trade Act of 1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 30th day of July, 2010
