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 eligi-
bility 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 29, 2002 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Tyco
Electronics, Corcom Division, El Paso, Texas. The workers
produce radio frequency filters and relays.
A petition for the NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance
has been filed on behalf of workers at the subject plant (NAFTA -
06170).
This investigation revealed that production and employment
at the subject firm decreased in 2001 as compared with 2000 and
in the period of January-March 2002.


The investigation also revealed that the company is
importing the radio frequency filters and relays and will import
a substantial portion of the radio frequency filters and relays
from off shore sources.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investi-
gation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles like
or directly competitive with radio frequency filters and relays
produced at Tyco Electronics, Corcom Division, El Paso, Texas,
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 Tyco Electronics, Formerly CII Technologies,
Corcom Division, El Paso, Texas, who became totally or par-
tially separated from employment on or after March 21, 2001,
through two years from the date of certification are eligi-
ble to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of
the Trade Act of 1974."

Signed in Washington, D. C. this 15th day of July, 2002.
