DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Economic Development Administration


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

AGENCY: Economic Development Administration, U.S. Department of 
Commerce.

ACTION: Notice and opportunity for public comment.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 251 of the Trade Act 1974, as amended, the 
Economic Development Administration (EDA) has received petitions for 
certification of eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance 
from the firms listed below. Accordingly, EDA has initiated 
investigations to determine whether increased imports into the United 
States of articles like or directly competitive with those produced by 
each of these firms 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.
