A certified firm has two years to apply for adjustment assistance. The Secretary may approve the application only when its proposal meets three stated standards, and must decide within 60 days.
(a) A firm* certified under section 2341 as eligible to apply may apply to the Secretary for assistance under this part at any time within two years after certification. The application must include an economic-adjustment proposal for the firm.
(b)(1) Assistance under this part is technical assistance. The Secretary may approve the application only if the proposal is reasonably designed to make a substantial contribution to the firm’s economic adjustment, adequately considers the firm’s workers, and shows that the firm will make every reasonable effort to use its own resources for economic development. (2) The Secretary must decide as soon as possible, but no later than 60 days after the application is filed.
(c) If the Secretary decides that a firm no longer needs assistance under this part, the Secretary must end the firm’s eligibility certification and promptly publish notice of the ending in the Federal Register. The ending takes effect on the date the Secretary specifies.
A firm* certified under section 2341 of this title as eligible to apply for adjustment assistance may, at any time within 2 years after the date of such certification, file an application with the Secretary for adjustment assistance under this part. Such application shall include a proposal for the economic adjustment of such firm.
Adjustment assistance under this part consists of technical assistance. The Secretary shall approve a firm’s application for adjustment assistance only if the Secretary determines that the firm’s adjustment proposal—
is reasonably calculated to materially contribute to the economic adjustment of the firm,
gives adequate consideration to the interests of the workers of such firm, and
demonstrates that the firm will make all reasonable efforts to use its own resources for economic development.
The Secretary shall make a determination as soon as possible after the date on which an application is filed under this section, but in no event later than 60 days after such date.
Whenever the Secretary determines that any firm no longer requires assistance under this part, he shall terminate the certification of eligibility of such firm and promptly have notice of such termination published in the Federal Register. Such termination shall take effect on the termination date specified by the Secretary.
