    Notice of Determinations Regarding Eligibility To Apply for 
    Worker Adjustment Assistance and NAFTA Transitional Adjustment 
    Assistance
    
        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 August, 1997.
        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 become 
    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.
    
    Negative Determinations for Worker Adjustment Assistance
    
        In each of the following cases the investigation revealed that 
    criterion (3) has not been met. A survey of customers indicated that 
    increased imports did not contribute importantly to worker separations 
    at the firm.
