In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended, the Department of Labor herein presents summaries of
determinations regarding eligibility to apply for trade adjustment
assistance for workers (TA-W) issued during the period of December,
1994.
In order for an affirmative determination to be made and a
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance
to be issued, each of the group eligibility requirements of section 222
of the Act must be met.
(1) that a significant number or proportion of the workers in the
workers' firm, or an appropriate subdivision thereof, have became
totally or partially separated,
(2) that sales or production, or both, of the firm or subdivision
have decreased absolutely, and
(3) that increases of imports of articles like or directly
competitive with articles produced by the firm or appropriate
subdivision have contributed importantly to the separations, or threat
thereof, and to the absolute decline in sales or production.

criterion (3) has not been met. A survey of customers indicated that
increased imports did not contribute importantly to worker separations
