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)(A) of Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
initiated on January 29, 2003 and filed by workers on behalf of
workers at Rockshox, Inc., a subsidiary of SRAM Corporation,
including leased workers of Kelly Services, Colorado Springs,
Colorado. The workers produce components for bicycles,
including suspension forks, rearshocks and seatposts.
The investigation revealed that sales, production and
employment declined at the subject firm from 2001 to 2002.
The investigation also revealed that imports of bicycle
components by the subject firm increased during the relevant
time 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 those produced at Rockshox,
Inc., a subsidiary of SRAM Corporation, Colorado Springs,
Colorado contributed importantly to the total or partial
separation of workers and to the decline in sales or production
at that firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions
of the Act, I make the following certification:









"All workers of Rockshox, Inc., a subsidiary of SRAM
Corporation, Colorado Springs, Colorado, including leased
workers of Kelly Services engaged in the production of
bicycle components at Rockshox, Inc., a subsidiary of SRAM
Corporation, Colorado Springs, Colorado, 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 25th day of February 2003.
