In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on May 2,
2002, applicable to workers of Motorola, Inc., Global Telecom
Solutions Sector (GTSS), formerly Network Solutions Sector (NSS),
Schaumburg, Illinois. The notice was published in the Federal
Register on May 17, 2002 (67 FR 35143).
At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are
engaged in the production of IDEN and CGISS radio system units.
Information shows that worker separations occurred at the
Deer Park, Illinois location of the subject firm. The workers
provide administrative support functions for Motorola’s Global
Telecommunications Solutions Sector (GTSS), located in
Schaumburg, Illinois.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification
to include workers of Motorola, Inc., Deer Park, Illinois.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include
all workers of Motorola, Inc., Global Telecom Solutions Sector
(GTSS), formerly Network Solutions Sector (NSS) who were
adversely affected by increased imports.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-40,501 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Motorola, Inc., Global Telecom
Solutions Sector (GTSS), formerly Network Solutions
Sector (NSS), Schaumburg, Illinois (TA-W-40,501),

Inc., Deer Park, Illinois (TA-W-40,501B) providing
support services related to the production of Global
Telecom Solutions Sector (GTSS), formerly Network

on or after November 15, 2000, through May 2, 2004, are

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 December 31, 2001, on
behalf of the workers at Motorola, Inc., Global Telecom Solutions
Sector (GTSS), formerly Network Solutions Sector (NSS), Schaumburg
Illinois (TA-W-40,501) and Motorola, Inc., Commercial, Government,
Industrial Solutions Sector (CGISS), Schaumburg, Illinois (TA-W-
40,501A). Workers produce IDEN and CGISS radio system units.
The investigation revealed that sales, production, and
employment declined absolutely at the subject sectors during the
relevant period.
The investigation further revealed that the subject sectors
increased their imports of IDEN and CGISS radio system units
absolutely during the relevant period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with IDEN and CGISS radio system
units, contributed importantly to the decline in sales or
production and to the total or partial separation of workers at
Motorola, Inc., Global Telecom Solutions Sector (GTSS), formerly
Network Solutions Sector (NSS), Schaumburg Illinois (TA-W-40,501)
and Motorola, Inc., Commercial, Government, Industrial Solutions
Sector (CGISS), Schaumburg, Illinois (TA-W-40,501A).
In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
"All workers of Motorola, Inc., Global Telecom Solutions
Sector (GTSS), formerly Network Solutions Sector (NSS),
Schaumburg Illinois (TA-W-40,501A) and Motorola, Inc.,
Commercial, Government, Industrial Solutions Sector (CGISS),
Schaumburg, Illinois (TA-W-40,501A), engaged in employment
related to the production of IDEN and CGISS radio system units
who become totally or partially separated from employment on
or after November 15, 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 2nd day of May, 2002.
