DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Economic Development Administration


Notice of Petitions by Producing Firms for Determination of 
Eligibility To Apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance

AGENCY: Economic Development Administration (EDA), Department of 
Commerce (DOC).

ACTION: Notice and opportunity for public comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to section 251 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2341 et 
seq.), the Economic Development Administration (EDA) has received 
petitions for certification of eligibility to apply for Trade 
Adjustment Assistance from the firms listed below. EDA has initiated 
separate investigations to determine whether increased imports into the 
United States of articles like or directly competitive with those 
produced by each firm contributed importantly to the total or partial 
separation of the firm's workers, or threat thereof, and to a decrease 
in sales or production of each petitioning firm.

 List of Petitions Received by EDA for Certification of Eligibility To Apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance for
                              the Period October 19, 2005 Through November 4, 2005
