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 25, 2002, and filed
by the company on behalf of workers at TRW, Inc., TRW Automotive,
Cookeville, Tennessee. The workers produced Ford Explorer head
curtain airbags.
The investigation revealed that production and employment,
related to the production of Ford Explorer head curtain airbags,
ceased in Cookeville, Tennessee during the relevant time period.
One hundred percent of the Ford Explorer head curtain airbags are
now being imported to Ford Explorer assembly plants located
within the United States.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive to those produced at TRW, Inc., TRW
Automotive, Cookeville, Tennessee, 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 TRW, Inc., TRW Automotive, Cookeville,
Tennessee, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 22, 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 9th day of April 2002
