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 29, 2001 and
filed on behalf of workers at ADC Telecommunications, Minnetonka,
Minnesota. The workers produce telecommunications equipment,
including cable components and HDSL cards. The workers are not
separately identifiable by product.
The investigation revealed that production and employment
declined in the relevant period.
The company increased its imports of HDSL cards during the
relevant period, replacing that production at ADC
Telecommunications, Minnetonka, Minnesota.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with HDSL cards produced at ADC
Telecommunications, Minnetonka, Minnesota, contributed
importantly to the decline in sales or production and to the
total or partial separation of workers of the subject firm. In
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of ADC Telecommunications, Minnetonka,
Minnesota, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after October 9, 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 12th day of June 2002
