PARALLAX POWER COMPONENTS LLC

GOODLAND, INDIANA

Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

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 January
23, 2002, applicable to workers of Parallax Power Components LLC,
Goodland, Indiana. The notice was published in the Federal
Register on February 5, 2002 (67 FR 5294).
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 transformers. New information shows
that Parallax Power Components purchased the Goodland, Indiana
location of MagneTek, Inc. on June 29, 2001.
Information also shows that some workers separated from
employment at the subject firm had their wages reported under a
separate unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for Parallax
Power Components LLC, MagneTek, Inc.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to
properly reflect this matter.


The intent of the Department=s certification is to include
all workers of Parallax Power Components LLC, Goodland, Indiana
who were adversely affected by increased imports.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-40,523 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Parallax Power Components LLC,
MagneTek, Inc., Goodland, Indiana who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after
December 17, 2000, through January 23, 2004, are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."

Signed at Washington, D.C. this 6th day of March, 2002.

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 on December 31, 2001, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers at Parallax Power Components LLC, Goodland, Indiana. The
workers produce transformers.
The investigation revealed that sales, production and
employment declined from 2000 to 2001.
Other findings of the investigation show that Parallax Power
Company increased imports of transformers relative to the
production of transformers at the Goodland, Indiana plant.
Currently, there is a petition for a NAFTA-5682 for workers at
the subject plant.






Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with transformers, contributed impor-
tantly 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 Parallax Power Components LLC, Goodland,
Indiana, who became totally or partially separated from em-
ployment on or after December 17, 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 23rd day of January, 2002.
