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 November 18, 2019 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers and former workers of Columbian Home Products, LLC,
Terre Haute, Indiana (Columbian Home). Workers of Columbian Home
are engaged in activities related to the production of porcelain-
on-steel (enameled) cookware.

During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petition, the workers' firm, declining
customers, and other sources.

Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in Columbian Home have become totally
or partially separated, or are threatened to become totally or
partially separated.

Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because Columbian Home
sales and/or production have decreased absolutely.

Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
like or directly competitive articles have increased during the
relevant period when compared to the representative base period.

Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because increased
imports contributed importantly to the worker group separations
and sales/production declines at Columbian Home.

Conclusion

After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Columbian Home 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 Columbian Home Products, LLC, Terre Haute,
Indiana, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after November 15, 2018 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."
