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 Labor issued a Certification of
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on May 1,
2003, applicable to workers of Electrolux Home Products, Inc.,
Edison, New Jersey. The notice was published in the Federal
Register on May 19, 2003 (68 FR 27107).
At the request of the petitioners, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
were engaged in the production of home air conditioners.
New findings show that worker separations will occur at the
Piscataway, New Jersey facility of the subject firm when the
company permanently closes June 30, 2004. The administrative
workers of the subject firm who were previously located in
Edison, New Jersey, are now located in Piscataway, New Jersey.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to
cover workers at Electrolux Home Productions, Inc. Edison, New
Jersey, now located in Piscataway, New Jersey.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include
all workers of Electrolux Home Products, Inc. who were adversely
affected by increased imports.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-51,118 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Electrolux Home Products, Inc., Edison, New
Jersey (TA-W-51,118) and Electrolux Home Products, Inc.,
Piscataway, New Jersey (TA-W-51,118A), who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after March 3,
2002, through May 1, 2005, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974."
Signed at Washington D.C. this 11th day of March 2004.

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 March 10, 2003 in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of
Electrolux Home Products Inc., Edison, New Jersey. The workers
produce home air conditioners.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm is closing
the subject plant in Edison and replacing production at the plant
with air conditioners produced abroad.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with air conditioners produced at
Electrolux Home Products Inc., Edison, New Jersey 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 Electrolux Home Products Inc., Edison, New
Jersey who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after March 3, 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."
