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 in response to a petition
received on May 13, 2002, filed by a company official on behalf
of workers at Northrop Grumman Corporation, Winchester
Electronics Division, Sacramento, California. The workers are
engaged in the production of power amplifiers, channel filters,
and cable assemblies.
The investigation revealed sales, production, and employ-
ment at the subject firm declined in 2001 compared with 2000, and
continued to decline in the first-quarter of 2002 compared with
the same period in 2001. The investigation further revealed
that the subject firm shifted production to an offshore facility,
and increased its imports of power amplifiers, channel filters,
and cable assemblies during the relevant period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investi-
gation, I conclude that increased imports of articles like or
directly competitive with the power amplifiers, channel filters,
and cable assemblies produced at Northrop Grumman Corporation,
Winchester Electronics Division, Sacramento, California con-
tributed 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 Northrop Grumman Corporation, Winchester
Electronics Division, Sacramento, California, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
April 23, 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 4th day of October 2002.
