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 November 13, 2000, and filed on behalf of workers at
Ohaus Corporation, Florham Park, New Jersey. The workers
produced electronic scales.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm has ceased
production of electronic scales at the Florham Park plant. The
plant is now a distribution facility for the electronic scales
being imported by the Ohaus Corporation.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with electronic scales produced by
Ohaus Corporation, Florham Park, New Jersey, 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 Ohaus Corporation, Florham Park, New Jersey,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after October 25, 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 7th day of March 2001.
