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
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:
(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 November 1, 2002 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of the workers at Parker
Hannifin Corporation, Gas Turbine Fuel Systems Division, Andover,
Ohio. The workers produce fuel nozzles for jet engines.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been
met.


The investigation revealed that from 2000 through September
2002 the subject firm did not import fuel nozzles for jet
engines.
The Department of Labor surveyed the subject firm's major
customers regarding their purchases of fuel nozzles for jet
engines. The survey revealed no imports of fuel nozzles for jet
engines.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers at Parker
Hannifin Corporation, Gas Turbine Fuel Systems Division, Andover,
Ohio, are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 3rd day of December, 2002.
