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 on October 9, 2001, and
filed on behalf of workers at Parker Hannifin Corporation,
Belleville, New Jersey. The workers produced gas valves. Workers
are identifiable by individual product line.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm closed
permanently in October 2001. All workers were separated from
Parker Hannifin Corporation, Belleville, New Jersey. The subject
firm shifted any remaining production to existing Parker Hannifin
Corporation locations within the United States except for a
specific valve named the CGA Gas Valve. The CGA Gas Valve's
production was shifted to a foreign location and Parker Hannifin
Corporation is importing those CGA Gas Valves back into the
United States.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with the CGA Gas Valve produced at
Parker Hannifin Corporation, Belleville, New Jersey, contributed
importantly to the decline in sales or production and to the
total or partial separation of workers engaged in employment
related to the production of the CGA Gas Valve at the subject
firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:











"All workers of Parker Hannifin Corporation, Belleville, New
Jersey, who were engaged in employment related to the
production of the CGA Gas Valve and who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after September
26, 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 31st day of January 2002
