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 March 18, 2002, and filed on behalf of workers at SCP
Global Technologies, Inc., Boise, Idaho. The workers produce
semiconductor surface preparation equipment.


The investigation revealed that production and employment at
the subject firm declined absolutely from 2000 to 2001.
A Department of Labor survey of the subject firm's largest
customer revealed increases in imports of semiconductor surface
preparation equipment 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 SCP Global
Technologies, Inc., Boise, Idaho 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 SCP Global Technologies, Inc., Boise, Idaho
engaged in employment related to the production of
semiconductor surface preparation equipment, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
February 1, 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 20th day of June, 2002.
