    (D) Imports of articles like or directly competitive with articles 
which are produced directly using services supplied by such firm, have 
increased; and

sales or production of such firm; or
    II. Section 222(a)(2)(B) all of the following must be satisfied:
    (1) A significant number or proportion of the workers in such 
workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or are

of the group eligibility requirements of Section 222(c) of the Act must
