EUROTHERM ACTION INC.
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA
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 in response to a petition
received on October 29, 2001, and filed by a company official on
behalf of workers at Eurotherm Action Inc., San Diego,
California. The workers are engaged in the production of
industrial instrumentation products.
The investigation revealed that production and employment at
the subject firm declined in January-September 2001 compared with
the same period in 2000.
The investigation further revealed that the subject firm
shifted production to an offshore facility, and increased its
imports of industrial instruments during the relevant period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investi-
gation, I conclude that increased imports of articles like or
directly competitive with the industrial instruments produced at
Eurotherm Action Inc., San Diego, California, contributed import-
antly 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 Eurotherm Action Inc., San Diego, Californ-
ia, 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 at Washington, D.C., this 19th day of February, 2002.
