apply for worker adjustment assistance, each of the group eligibility
requirements of Section 222(a) of the Act must be met.

absolutely; and
(3) One of the following must be satisfied:
(A) Imports of articles or services like or directly competitive

into which one or more component parts produced by such firm are

component parts produced outside the United States that are like or
directly competitive with imports of articles incorporating one or more
component parts produced by such firm have increased;
(D) imports of articles like or directly competitive with articles
which are produced directly using services supplied by such firm, have
increased; and
(4) the increase in imports contributed importantly to such
workers' separation or threat of separation and to the decline in the
sales or production of such firm; or
II. Section 222(a)(2)(B) all of the following must be satisfied:

country in the production of articles or supply of services like or
directly competitive with those produced/supplied by the workers' firm;
(B) there has been an acquisition from a foreign country by the
workers' firm of articles/services that are like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by the workers' firm; and
(3) the shift/acquisition contributed importantly to the workers'
separation or threat of separation.

regarding eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance, each
of the group eligibility requirements of Section 222(b) of the Act must
be met.

production is related to the article or service that was the basis for
such certification; and
(3) either--
(A) the workers' firm is a supplier and the component parts it
supplied to the firm described in paragraph (2) accounted for at least
20 percent of the production or sales of the workers' firm; or
(B) a loss of business by the workers' firm with the firm described
in paragraph (2) contributed importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation.
In order for an affirmative determination to be made for adversely
affected workers in firms identified by the International Trade
Commission and a certification issued regarding eligibility to apply
for worker adjustment assistance, each of the group eligibility
requirements of Section 222(e) of the Act must be met.

thereof under section 202(b)(1);
