Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) as amended by the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act
of 1988 (P. L. 100-418), the Department of Labor herein presents
the results of an investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance
each of the group eligibility requirements of Section 222 of the
Act must be met. It is determined in this case that all of the
requirements have been met.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on October 16, 2000, and filed on behalf of workers at
Tyco Electronics, Clinton Township, Michigan. The workers produce
electrical connectors, engine controllers and power distribution
centers.
Findings of the investigation revealed that the subject firm
is relying on imported electrical connectors, engine controllers
and power distribution centers. That reliance has contributed
importantly to separations of workers at the subject plant.


A petition for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment has been filed on
behalf of workers at the subject firm (NAFTA - 4211). A determina-
tion on that petition will be made concurrently with this decision.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with electrical connectors, engine
controllers and power distribution centers produced by Tyco
Electronics, Clinton Township, Michigan contributed importantly to
the decline in sales or production and to the total or partial
separation of workers of that firm. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Tyco Electronics, Clinton Township, Michigan,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after September 28, 1999, through two years from the date
of certification are eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 22nd day of November, 2000.
