Quality Fabricating, Inc., North Huntington, PA; Affirmative 
Finding Regarding Qualification as a Secondarily Affected Worker Group 
Pursuant to the Statement of Administrative Action Accompanying the 
North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Implementation Act

    The Department of Labor herein presents the results of an 
investigation regarding qualification as a secondarily impacted firm, 
pursuant to the Statement of Administrative Action accompanying the 
North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Implementation Act.
    In order for an affirmative finding to be made, the following 
requirements must be met:

    (1) The subject firm must be a supplier--such as of components, 
unfinished or semi-finished goods--to a firm that is directly 
affected by imports from Mexico or Canada of articles like or 
directly competitive with articles produced by that firm or shifts 
in production of such articles to those countries; or
    (2) The subject firm must assemble or finish products made by a 
directly-impacted firm; and
    (3) The loss of business with the directly affected firm must 
have contributed importantly to worker separations at the subject 
firm.

    The investigation revealed that requirements (1) and (3) are met.
    Quality Fabricating, Inc., North Huntington, Pennsylvania, produces

sheet metal component parts, which it supplied to a manufacturer of 
cable television amplifiers. Evidence revealed that this customer, to 
whom the subject firm supplied sheet metal component parts, shifted 
production to Mexico while reducing purchases from the subject firm. 
The subject firm's employment declined, in part, because of the loss of 
this customer.
    Based on this evidence, I determine that workers of Quality 
Fabricating, Inc., North Huntington, Pennsylvania, qualify as 
secondarily affected pursuant to the Statement of Administrative Action 
accompanying the North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation 
Act.

Workforce Investment Act (WIA), which may be available to workers 
included under this determination, contact:
