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, and filed
on behalf of workers at Tracy Minntronix Corporation, Tracy,
Minnesota. The workers produced magnetic transformers and
components.
The investigation revealed that sales, production and
employment declined at the subject plant during the relevant
period. Other findings of the investigation show that the
subject firm increased imports of magnetic transformers and
components during the relevant period.
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 Tracy Minntronix Corporation,
Tracy, Minnesota, 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 Tracy Minntronix Corporation, Tracy,
Minnesota, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after January 29, 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 in Washington, D. C. this 13th day of March 2002
