Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on
September 30, 2002, applicable to workers of Motorola, Inc.,
Global Telecom Solutions Sector (GTSS), Cellular Infrastructure
Group, Fort Worth, Texas. The notice was published in the
Federal Register on October 22, 2002 (67 FR 64923).
At the request of the petitioners, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. Information
provided by the company shows that temporary workers of Adecco,
North American, LLC worked at Motorola, Inc., Global Telecom
Solutions Sector (GTSS), Cellular Infrastructure Group to produce
base stations at the Fort Worth, Texas location of the subject
firm.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include temporary workers of Adecco, North
American, LLC working at Motorola, Inc., Global Telecom Solutions
Sector (GTSS), Cellular Infrastructure Group, Fort Worth, Texas.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include
all workers of Motorola, Inc., Global Telecom Solutions Sector
(GTSS), Cellular Infrastructure Group who were adversely affected
by increased imports.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-41,716 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Motorola, Inc., Global Telecom
Solutions Sector, Cellular Infrastructure Group, Fort
Worth, Texas, engaged in employment related to the
production of base stations, and temporary workers of
Adecco, North American, LLC, Fort Worth, Texas,
producing base stations at Motorola, Inc., Global
Telecom Solutions Sector, Cellular Infrastructure
Group, Fort Worth, Texas, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after May 21,
2001, through September 30, 2004, are eligible to apply
for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974."
Signed at Washington, D.C. this 9th day of April 2003.

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 June 24, 2002, and filed on
behalf of the workers at Motorola, Inc., Global Telecom Solutions
Sector, Cellular Infrastructure Group, Forth Worth, Texas. The
workers at the subject firm produce base stations.
The investigation revealed that sales, production, and
employment declined absolutely at the subject firm during the
relevant period.
The investigation further revealed that the subject firm did
not import base stations during the relevant period.
The Department of Labor surveyed the subject firm's major
customers regarding their purchases of base stations. This survey
revealed increases in imports of base stations during the period
under investigation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with base stations produced at
Motorola, Inc., Global Telecom Solutions Sector, Cellular
Infrastructure Group, Forth Worth, Texas, contributed importantly
to the decline in sales or production and to the total or partial
separation of workers at the subject firm. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers at Motorola, Inc., Global Telecom Solutions
Sector, Cellular Infrastructure Group, Forth Worth, Texas,
engaged in employment related to the production of base
stations who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after May 21, 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 30th day of September, 2002.
