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 September 9, 2002, and
filed on behalf of the workers at Agilent Technologies, Inc., Lake
Stevens Site, Order Fulfillment operation, Everett, Washington.
The workers at the subject firm produce data acquisition systems
and equipment, signal analyzers and processors, and digitizers and
are not separately identifiable by product line.
The investigation revealed that sales, production, and
employment at the subject firm declined absolutely during the
relevant period.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm increased
their imports of data acquisition systems and equipment, signal
analyzers and processors, and digitizers during the relevant
period.






Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with data acquisition systems and
equipment, signal analyzers and processors, and digitizers produced
at Agilent Technologies, Inc., Lake Stevens Site, Order Fulfillment
operation, Everett, Washington, 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 of Agilent Technologies, Inc., Lake Stevens Site,
Order Fulfillment operation, Everett, Washington, engaged in
employment related to the production of data acquisition
systems and equipment, signal analyzers and processors, and
digitizers who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after August 19, 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 17th day of October, 2002.
