Mapa Pioneer, et al., Certification Regarding Eligibility To 
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

    In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 
2273) as amended by the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 
(P.L. 100-418), the Department of Labor herein presents the results of 
an investigation regarding certification of eligibility to apply for 
worker adjustment assistance.
    In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a 
certification of eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance each of 
the group eligibility requirements of Section 222 of the Act must be 
met. It is determined in this case that all of the requirements have 
been met.
    The investigation was initiated in response to a petition received 
on October 23, 1995 and filed on behalf of workers at Mapa Pioneer in 
Willard and Attica Ohio. The workers produce nitrile and neoprene 
gloves.
    The investigation revealed that Mapa Pioneer made a decision in 
1995 to transfer its neoprene glove production from its domestic plants 
to an affiliate in France. In addition, the transfer will result in the 
closing of the Attica, Ohio facility at the end of 1995.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the facts obtained in the investigation, I 
conclude that increases of imports of articles like or directly 
competitive with nitrile and neoprene gloves produced at Mapa Pioneer 
in Willard and Attica, Ohio contributed importantly to the decline in 
sales or production and to the total or partial separation of workers 
of that firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the 
following certification:

    ``All workers of Mapa Pioneer in Willard and Attica, Ohio who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
October 10, 1994 through two years from the date of certification 
are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of 
the Trade Act of 1974.''

    Signed in Washington, D.C. this 14th day of November 1995.
Russell T. Kile,
Acting Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of 
Trade Adjustment Assistance.
