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 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 sales and/or production have
decreased absolutely at the workers firm or subdivision and an
increase in imports of articles like or directly competitive with
articles produced by the workers' firm or subdivision contributed
importantly to workers' separation or threat of separation and to
the decline in the sales or production of the subject firm or
subdivision.


The investigation was initiated on March 6, 2003 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Elliott Turbomachinery
Co., Inc., Jeannette, Pennsylvania. The workers at the subject
firm produce turbines, compressors, and parts thereof; they are not
separately identifiable by product line.
The investigation revealed that sales and employment at the
subject firm declined absolutely during the period of January
through February of 2003, when compared to the same period in 2002.
The investigation further revealed that company imports of
turbine and compressor parts increased absolutely from 2001 to
2002.



Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with turbines, compressors, and parts
thereof produced at Elliot Turbomachinery Co., Inc., Jeannette,
Pennsylvania 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 Elliott Turbomachinery Co., Inc., Jeannette,
Pennsylvania who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 21, 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 12th day of June, 2003.
