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 on February 26, 2003, in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers of MTI Technology
Corporation, Anaheim, California. The workers produced data storage
systems.
The investigation revealed that the declines in employment at
the subject plant are related to a shift in all plant production to
a company-owned foreign facility. The company now imports products
previously produced at the subject plant.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that there was a shift in production from
the workers' firm to a foreign country of articles that are like or
directly competitive with those produced by the subject firm, and
there has been or is likely to be an increase in imports of like or
directly competitive articles. In accordance with the provisions of
the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of MTI Technology Corporation, Anaheim,
California who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after January 4, 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."

Signed in Washington, D.C. this 4th day of April, 2003.
