amended, the Department of Labor herein presents summaries of
determinations regarding eligibility to apply for trade adjustment

to be issued, each of the group eligibility requirements of Section 222

workers' firm, or an appropriate subdivision thereof, have become
totally or partially separated,

have decreased absolutely, and

thereof, and to the absolute decline in sales or production.
