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

would serve no purpose since the petitioning group of workers cannot be
covered by more than one certification at a time.
