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 February
21, 2003, applicable to workers of Foster Wheeler Energy
Corporation, a subsidiary of Foster Wheeler Corporation,
Dansville, New York. The notice was published in the Federal
Register on March 10, 2003 (68 FR 11410).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
were engaged in the production of boilers and boiler parts.
New findings show that a worker was separated at the Foster
Wheeler Power Group, Inc., Stuart, Florida. This employee
provided support function services for the production of boilers
and boiler parts produced at the Dansville, New York location of
the subject firm.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to
include an employee of Foster Wheeler Power Group, Inc., a
subsidiary of Foster Wheeler Corporation, now known as Foster
Wheeler North America, Inc., Stuart, Florida
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of Foster Wheeler Energy Corporation, a subsidiary of
Foster Wheeler Corporation, now known as Foster Wheeler North
America, Inc., who were adversely affected by a shift in
production to China.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-50,435 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Foster Wheeler Energy Corporation a
subsidiary of Foster Wheeler Corporation, now known as
Foster Wheeler North America, Inc., Dansville, New York
(TA-W-50,435) and Foster Wheeler Power Group, Inc., a
subsidiary of Foster Wheeler Corporation, now known as
Foster Wheeler North America, Inc., Stuart, Florida
(TA-W-50,435A), who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after December 20,
2001, through February 21, 2005, are eligible to apply
for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974."
Signed at Washington, D.C. this 19th day of April 2004.

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, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of its 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 Trade Adjustment
Assistance, the group eligibility requirements in either paragraph
(a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act must be met.
It is determined in this case that the requirements of (a)(2)(B) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on January 3, 2003 in response
to a petition filed by a union official from the National
Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAMAW), District
65, on behalf of workers at Foster Wheeler Energy Corporation, a
subsidiary of Foster Wheeler Corporation, Buffalo, New York. The
workers at the subject firm produce boilers and boiler parts; they
are not separately identifiable.
The investigation revealed that employment at the subject firm
decreased absolutely from 2001 to 2002.
Furthermore, the investigation revealed that the preponderance
of declines in employment at the subject firm is related to a shift
in production of boilers and boiler parts to China.
Moreover, the Department of Labor has determined that imports
of boilers and boiler parts are likely to increase.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with boilers and boiler parts produced
at Foster Wheeler Energy Corporation, a subsidiary of Foster
Wheeler Corporation, Buffalo, New York contributed importantly to
the total or partial separation of workers and to the decline in
sales or production and at that firm or subdivision. In accordance
with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Foster Wheeler Energy Corporation, a
subsidiary of Foster Wheeler Corporation, Buffalo, New York
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after December 20, 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, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 21st day of February, 2003.
