ABB AUTOMATION, INC.
COLUMBUS, OHIO
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 June 24, 2002 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers at ABB Automation, Inc.,
Columbus, Ohio. The workers produced pulp and paper control
systems.
The investigation revealed that production and employment
at the subject firm declined in 2001 as compared to 2000 and
further declined in the period January-June 2002 over the
corresponding 2001 period.
The investigation further revealed that the company
increased their imports of pulp and paper control systems during
the relevant period.
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 pulp and paper control systems
produced at ABB Automation, Inc., Columbus, Ohio, contributed
importantly to the decline in sales or production and to the
total or partial separation of workers of that firm. In accor-
dance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of ABB Automation, Inc., Columbus, Ohio, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after May 30, 2001, through two years from the date of
certification are eligible to apply for adjustment assis-
tance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 26th day of August, 2002.
