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 Notice of
Certification Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance on February 25, 2002, applicable to workers
of FCI USA, Incorporated, Emigsville, Pennsylvania. The notice
was published in the Federal Register on March 20, 2002 (67 FR
13011).
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 electrical connectors.
New information provided by the company shows that worker
separations will occur at the Willow Springs Distribution Center,
of FCI USA, Incorporated in York, Pennsylvania. The York,
Pennsylvania location provides warehousing and distribution
services for the Emigsville, Pennsylvania production facility of
FCI USA, Incorporated.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to
cover the workers of the Willow Springs Distribution Center,
York, Pennsylvania.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of FCI USA, Incorporated who were adversely affected
by increased imports.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-40,841 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of FCI USA, Incorporated, Emigsville,
Pennsylvania (TA-W-40,841) and Willow Springs Distribution
Center, York, Pennsylvania (TA-W-40,841A), who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
January 7, 2001, through February 25, 2004, are eligible to
apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974."
Signed at Washington, D.C. this 8th day of May 2003.

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 19, 2002, and
filed by on behalf of workers at FCI USA, Inc., Emigsville, Pennsylvania. The workers produce
electrical connectors.
The investigation revealed that sales, production, and employment declined absolutely from
2000 to 2001.
The investigation further revealed that company imports of electrical connectors increased
absolutely during the period under investigation.
Workers of the subject firm were certified as eligible to apply for NAFTA-Transitional
Adjustment Assistance on January 29, 2002 (NAFTA-5711).
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investigation, I conclude that increases of imports
of articles like or directly competitive with electrical connectors produced by FCI USA, Inc.,
Emigsville, Pennsylvania, 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 FCI USA, Inc., Emigsville, Pennsylvania, engaged in employment related to
the production of electrical connectors, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after January 7, 2001, 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 25th day of February, 2002.
