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 in response to a petition
received on March 17, 2003 and filed on behalf of workers at G.E.
Packaged Power, LP, and leased workers of Kelly Temp Service,
Corpus Christi, Texas. The workers were engaged in the production
of and gas compressor assemblies and parts.
The decline in employment at the subject plant is related to a
shift in plant production to a country (Mexico) that is a party to
a free trade agreement with the United States.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that there was a shift in production from
the workers firm or subdivision to MexicoSingapore of articles that
are like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject
firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Act,
I make the following certification:
"All workers of G.E. Packaged Power, LP, Corpus Christi, Texas
and leased workers of Kelly Kelly Temp Service producing gas
compressor assemblies and parts at G.E. Packaged Power, LP,
Corpus Christi, Texas, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after March 10, 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, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 23rd day of May 2003.
