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 eligi-
bility 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 on July 2, 2001 in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers at
CTS Reeves Frequency Products, Carlisle, Pennsylvania. The
workers produce crystal oscillators used in the telecommunica-
tions industry.
The investigation revealed that the production and
employment decrease during the period under investigation.
The investigation further revealed that the company
increased imports of crystal oscillators from 1999 to 2000, and
in January through June 2001 compared to January through June
2000.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investi-
gation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles like
or directly competitive with crystal oscillators produced at CTS
Reeves Frequency Products, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, contributed
importantly to the decline in sales or production and to the
total or partial separation of workers of that firm. In accor-

dance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of CTS Reeves Frequency Products, Carlisle,
Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after June 18, 2000, through two years from
the date of certification, are eligible to apply for adjust-

ment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."

Signed in Washington, D. C. this 8th day of August, 2001.
