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 March 4, 2002, in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Iomega
Corporation, Roy, Utah. The workers were engaged in employment
related to the production of zip drives and jaz drives.
The investigation revealed that sales and production at the
subject firm decreased absolutely during the relevant period.
The investigation revealed that, at the Roy facility, the
subject firm ceased production of zip drives and jaz drives in
June of 2001. The facility is currently used for prototyping
and engineering support functions.
The investigation further revealed that the parent company
has increased imports of zip drives and jaz drives in the
relevant period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investi-
gation, I conclude that increases in imports of products like or
directly competitive with zip drives and jaz drives produced at
Iomega Corporation, Roy, Utah, 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 Trade Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers at Iomega Corporation, Roy, Utah, engaged in
activities related to the production of zip drives and jaz
drives, 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 16th day of April, 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 February 25, 2002 and
filed on behalf of workers at Fairbanks Morse Engine, Beloit, Wisconsin (TA-W-40,857). The
investigation was expanded to include Fairbanks Morse Engine, Norfolk, Virginia (TA-W-
40,857A); Fairbanks Morse Engine, Seattle, Washington (TA-W-40,857B); and, Fairbanks
Morse Engine, Houston, Texas (TA-W-40,857C). The subject firm is a division of Goodrich
Corporation. The workers produced large diesel and dual fuel engines for ship propulsion and
power generation.
The investigation revealed that U.S. imports of marine propulsion spark-ignition
reciprocating or rotary internal-combustion piston engines, not elsewhere specified or otherwise
indicated increased in 2001 compared to 2000.
The investigation further revealed that the company is discontinuing its production of
opposed piston engines for power generation because of its inability to meet price competition and
is replacing it with company imports. This displacement will cause layoffs at the subject plant. In
addition, the company is changing over from its Pielstick engine production for a large government
project because of design considerations to the MAN engine and is now importing components to
facilitate the change. This transition has affected and will continue to affect adversely employment
at the subject plant.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investi-gation, I conclude that increases of
imports of articles like or directly competitive with large diesel and dual fuel engines for ship
propulsion and power generation produced at Fairbanks Morse Engine, Beloit, Wisconsin;
Fairbanks Morse Engine, Norfolk, Virginia; Fairbanks Morse Engine, Seattle, Washington; and,
Fairbanks Morse Engine, Houston, 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 Fairbanks Morse Engine, Beloit, Wisconsin; Fairbanks Morse Engine,
Norfolk, Virginia; Fairbanks Morse Engine, Seattle, Washington; and, Fairbanks Morse
Engine, Houston, Texas who became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after December 13, 2000 are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of
the Trade Act of 1974."
