firms listed below. EDA has initiated separate investigations to 
determine whether increased imports into the United States of articles 
like or directly competitive with those produced by each firm 
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.
