04-12873. Minnesota Rubber, Minneapolis, MN; Notice of Termination of Investigation

Pursuant to Section 221 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, an investigation was initiated on May 5, 2004 in response to a petition filed by a state agency representative on behalf of workers of Minnesota Rubber, a subsidiary of Quadion Corporation, Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The investigation revealed that the subject firm did not separate or threaten to separate a significant number or proportion of workers as required by Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974. Significant number or proportion of the workers means that at least three workers in a firm with a workforce of fewer than 50 workers would have to be affected. Separations by the subject firm did not meet this threshold level; consequently the investigation has been terminated.

Signed at Washington, DC this 12th day of May 2004.

Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
