(19 U.S.C. 2271), the Department initiated investigations of these 
petitions.
    The following determinations terminating investigations were issued

the date of the petition cannot be covered under a certification of a 
petition under Section 223(b), and therefore, may not be part of a 
petitioning worker group. For one or more of these reasons, these 
petitions were deemed invalid.
