Investigations Regarding Certifications of Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

Mon, Nov 24 2003 11:00:00 GMT

Petitions have been filed with the Secretary of Labor under section 221(a) of the Trade Act of 1974 (``the Act'') and are identified in the Appendix to this notice. Upon receipt of these petitions, the Director of the Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance, Employment and Training Administration, has instituted investigations pursuant to section 221(a) of the Act.

The purpose of each of the investigations is to determine whether the workers are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under title II, chapter 2, of the Act. The investigations will further relate, as appropriate, to the determination of the date on which total or partial separations began or threatened to begin and the subdivision of the firm involved.

The petitioners or any other persons showing a substantial interest in the subject matter of the investigations may request a public hearing, provided such request is filed in writing with the Director, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance, at the address shown be

Fishing Vessel (F/V) Tri-K, Palmer, AK; Notice of Termination of Investigation

Mon, Nov 24 2003 11:00:00 GMT

Pursuant to Section 221 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, an investigation was initiated on October 6, 2003 in response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of Fishing Vessel (F/V) TriK, Palmer, Alaska.

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.
