Negative Determination 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:
(1) that a significant number or proportion of the workers
in the workers' firm, or an appropriate subdivision
thereof, have become totally or partially separated,
or are threatened to become totally or partially
separated;

(2) that sales or production, or both, of the firm or
subdivision have decreased absolutely; and

(3) that increases of imports of articles like or directly
competitive with articles produced by the firm or
appropriate subdivision have contributed importantly to
the separations, or threat thereof, and to the absolute
decline in sales or production.

The investigation was initiated on May 20, 2002 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Invensys Sensor
Systems, Clarostat Sensors & Controls, Molding Department, El
Paso, Texas. Workers produced plastic molded parts shipped
within the corporation.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been
met.
Clarostat Sensors & Controls did not import plastic molded
parts in the relevant time period.
A petition for NAFTA-Transitional Adjustment Assistance has
been filed. The identifying number is NAFTA-6195.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of
Invensys Sensor Systems, Clarostat Sensors & Controls, Molding
Department, El Paso, Texas are denied eligibility to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
