Worker Adjustment Assistance and NAFTA Transitional Adjustment

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 October, 
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 of 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.
