Trade Act 1974, as amended, the 

Economic Development Administration 

(EDA) has received petitions for 

certification of eligibility to apply for 

Trade Adjustment Assistance from the 

firms listed below. Accordingly, EDA 

has initiated investigations to determine 

whether increased imports into the 

United States of articles like or directly 

competitive with those produced by 

each of these firms 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.
