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 April 1, 2002, and filed
on behalf of workers at Carmum International, a Division of IMI
Cornelius, San Antonio, Texas. The workers produce machined
fittings and cold plates used in drink dispensers.
The investigation revealed that sales and employment
declined absolutely at the subject firm during the relevant
period. During that same time period, the subject firm began
importing fittings and cold plates.


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 Carmum
International, a Division of IMI Cornelius, San Antonio, Texas,
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 Carmum International, a Division of IMI
Cornelius, San Antonio, Texas, engaged in the production of
machined fittings and cold plates, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after February 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 in Washington, D. C. this 3rd day of May 2002
