RICHMOND, KENTUCKY

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Trade 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 September 28, 2001, in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at SCI
Enclosures (formerly CMS Hartzell), Richmond, Kentucky. The
workers are engaged in employment related to the production of
metal stampings and enclosures.
This investigation revealed that production and employment
at the subject plant decreased during the period under
investigation.


The Department of Labor surveyed major customers of the
subject firm regarding their purchases of metal stampings and
enclosures in 2000-2001. Some respondents indicated that they
reduced purchases from the subject firm and increased imports in
the relevant time period.
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 those produced by SCI Enclosures
(formerly CMS Hartzell), Richmond, Kentucky, 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 Trade Act, I make the
following certification:
"All workers at SCI Enclosures, formerly CMS Hartzell,
Richmond, Kentucky, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after September 17, 2000,
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 11th day of June 2002.
