TYCO INTERNATIONAL, LTD
A DIVISION OF TYCO ELECTRONIC POWER SYSTEMS
FORMERLY LUCENT TECHNOLOGIES
INCLUDING LEASED WORKERS OF
ADECCO EMPLOYMENT
MESQUITE, TEXAS
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 U.S. Department Labor issued a Certification of
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on February
19, 2002, applicable to workers of Tyco International, LTD, a
Division of Tyco Electronic Power Systems, Formerly Lucent
Technologies, Mesquite, Texas. The notice was published in the
Federal Register on February 28, 2002 (67 FR 9325).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. Information
provided by the State shows that leased workers of Adecco
Employment, Garland, Texas were employed at Tyco International,
LTD, a Division of Tyco Electronic Power Systems to produce power
supplies at the Mesquite, Texas location of the subject firm.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending the
certification to include leased workers of Adecco Employment,
Garland Texas employed at Tyco International, LTD, a Division of
Tyco Electronic Power Systems, Mesquite, Texas.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include
all workers of Tyco International, LTD, a Division of Tyco
Electronic Power Systems who were adversely affected by increased
imports of power supplies.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-40,596 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Tyco International LTD, a Division of Tyco
Electronics Power Systems, Mesquite, Texas including leased
workers of Adecco Employment, Garland, Texas engaged in
employment related to the production of power supplies at
Tyco International, LTD, a Division of Tyco Electronic Power
Systems, Mesquite, Texas, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after October 22, 2000,
through February 19, 2004, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974."
Signed at Washington D.C. this 3rd day of September, 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
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 January 22, 2002, and filed by the Communications
Workers of America, Local 6260 on behalf of workers at Tyco
International Limited, Tyco Electronics Power Systems, Inc.,
Mesquite, Texas. The workers produce power supplies.
The investigation revealed that sales, production, and
employment declined at the subject firm during 2001 after the
facility was acquired from Lucent Technologies, Inc. in December of
2000.
The investigation further revealed that company imports of
power supplies increased absolutely during the relevant period.
Workers at the subject firm were certified as eligible to
apply for NAFTA-Transitional Adjustment Assistance on January 2,
2002 (NAFTA-5470).
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with power supplies produced by Tyco
International Limited, Tyco Electronics Power Systems, Inc.,
Mesquite, Texas, contributed importantly 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 the Tyco International Limited, Tyco
Electronics Power Systems, Inc., Mesquite, Texas, engaged in
employment related to the production of power supplies, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after October 23, 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.
