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 by
the company on behalf of the workers at Eagle-Picher Technologies,
LLC, a division of Eagle-Picher Industries, in Grove, Oklahoma (TA-
W-41,211) and Seneca, Missouri (TA-W-41,211A). The workers produce
lead-acid batteries.
The investigation revealed that sales and production declined
at the subject facilities during the relevant period. Layoffs
occurred at both plants.
The company increased their imports of lead-acid batteries
absolutely 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 lead-acid batteries, contributed
importantly to the to the total or partial separation of workers at
Eagle-Picher Technologies, LLC, a division of Eagle-Picher
Industries, in Grove, Oklahoma (TA-W-41,211) and Seneca, Missouri
(TA-W-41,211A). In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I
make the following certification:
"All workers of Eagle-Picher Technologies, LLC, a division of
Eagle-Picher Industries, in Grove, Oklahoma (TA-W-41,211) and
Seneca, Missouri (TA-W-41,211A), who become totally or
partially separated from employment on or after March 8, 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 2nd day of May, 2002.
