    (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

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

regarding eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance, each 
of the group eligibility requirements of Section 222(c) of the Act must

workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or are 
threatened to become totally or partially separated;

    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

    The following determinations terminating investigations were issued 
because the petitioner has requested that the petition be withdrawn.

signed by at least three individuals of the petitioning worker group. 
Petitioners separated more than one year prior to the date of the

group. For one or more of these reasons, these petitions were deemed 
invalid.
