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:
(1) A significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated;

competitive with those produced/supplied by the workers' firm; and

separation or threat of separation.

supplied to the firm described in paragraph (2) accounted for at least
20 percent of the production or sales of the workers' firm; or

in paragraph (2) contributed importantly to the workers' separation or

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

Determinations Terminating Investigations of Petitions for Worker
Adjustment Assistance
After notice of the petitions was published in the Federal Register
and on the Department's Web site, as required by Section 221 of the Act
(19 U.S.C. 2271), the Department initiated investigations of these
petitions.
The following determinations terminating investigations were issued
in cases where these petitions were not filed in accordance with the
requirements of 29 CFR 90.11. Every petition filed by workers must be
signed by at least three individuals of the petitioning worker group.
Petitioners separated more than one year prior to 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.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following determinations terminating investigations were issued
because the petitioning groups of workers are covered by active
certifications. Consequently, further investigation in these cases
would serve no purpose since the petitioning group of workers cannot be
covered by more than one certification at a time.
