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 January 14, 2002 filed by
the company on behalf of workers of Rockwell Collins, Pomona,
California (TA-W-40,584) and Irvine, California (TA-W-40,584A).
The workers produced in-flight entertainment systems.
Production and employment declined during the relevant
period.
The subject firm transferred production of in-flight
entertainment systems to a foreign location. The in-flight
entertainment systems produced in a foreign location are then
imported back into the United States to the subject firm's
customers.
A petition for NAFTA-Transitional Adjustment Assistance has
been filed on behalf of workers at Rockwell Collins in Pomona,
California (NAFTA-5710) and Irvine, California (NAFTA-5710A).
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with those produced at Rockwell
Collins, Pomona, California (TA-W-40,584) and Irvine, California
(TA-W-40,584A), 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 Rockwell Collins, Pomona, California (TA-W-
40,584) and Irvine, California (TA-W-40,584A), who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
January 3, 2001 through March 8, 2004, are eligible to apply
for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act
of 1974. Workers of Rockwell Collins, Pomona, California
and Irvine, California, engaged in the production of the
8.6" Boeing retract for PAVES in-flight entertainment system
are covered under TA-W-39,179 and TA-W-39,179A,
respectively, through July 16, 2003; and beginning July 17,
2003 through March 8, 2004, are eligible under this
certification to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."

Signed in Washington, D. C. this 8th day of March 2002
