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 in response to a petition
received on February 1, 2002, filed by the company on behalf of
workers at Celestica Corporation, Milwaukie, Oregon. The workers
produced power supplies.
Investigation findings revealed that the subject plant
experienced declines in sales, production, and levels of
employment.
The investigation also showed that the subject firm has
increased its reliance on imports of power supplies.
A petition for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance has
been filed on behalf of workers at the subject firm (NAFTA-
5586). A determination on that petition will be made
concurrently with this determination.
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 Celestica
Corporation, Milwaukie, Oregon, contributed importantly to the
decline in sales and 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 at Celestica Corporation, Milwaukie, Oregon,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after November 19, 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 17th day of April 2002.
