MANLIUS, NEW YORK
INCLUDING EMPLOYEES OF C-COR.NET LOCATED IN THE STATES OF
MINNESOTA, WASHINGTON, TEXAS, OHIO AND COLORADO
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 March 5,
2003, applicable to workers of C-Cor.Net, Manlius, New York. The
notice was published in the Federal Register on March 19, 2003
(68 FR 13332).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in the production of broadband communication
products.
New information shows that C-Cor.Net purchased Philips
Broadband Networks on September 16, 2002 and that workers
separated from employment at the subject firm between January,
2002 and September 16, 2002 had their wages reported under a
separate unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for Philips
Broadband Networks. Information also shows that worker
separations occurred involving employees of the Manlius, New York
facility of the subject firm located in Minnesota, Washington,
Texas, Ohio and Colorado. These employees provided sales
function services for the production of broadband communication
products at the Manlius, New York location of the subject firm.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to
properly reflect this matter.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of C-Cor.Net, Manlius, New York who were adversely
affected by increased imports.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-50,497 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of C-Cor.Net, Philips Broadband Networks,
Manlius, New York, including employees of C-Cor.Net,
Manlius, New York, located in Minnesota, Washington,
Texas, Ohio and Colorado, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after January
2, 2002, through March 5, 2005, are eligible to apply
for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974."

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (19 USC 2273), 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 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 in response to a petition
received on January 7, 2003 and filed on behalf of workers at C-
COR.net Corporation, Manlius, New York. The workers produced
broadband communication products.
The decline in employment at the subject plant is related to a
shift in plant production of broadband communication products to a
country (Mexico) that is a party to a free trade agreement with the
United States.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that there was a shift in production from
the workers firm or subdivision to Mexico of articles that are like
or directly competitive with those produced by the subject firm or
subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make
the following certification:
"All workers of C-COR.net Corporation, Manlius, New York, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after January 2, 2002 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 5th day of March 2003.
