component parts produced by such firm have increased;
(D) Imports of articles like or directly competitive with articles

increased; and
(4) The increase in imports contributed importantly to such

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

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

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.
