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 on February 24, 2003, in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers of C-COR.net
Corporation, State College, Pennsylvania. The workers produce
broadband communications products.
Workers at the subject firm were certified eligible to apply
for Trade Adjustment Assistance on March 6, 2001 (TA-W-38,690).
That certification expired March 6, 2003.
This investigation revealed that the subject firm increased
its reliance on imported broadband communications products while
decreasing employment and production levels at State College,
Pennsylvania.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with broadband communications products
produced at C-COR.net Corporation, State College, Pennsylvania
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 C-COR.net Corporation, State College,
Pennsylvania who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after March 7, 2003 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 8th day of April, 2003.
