Amended 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 issued a
Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance on May 5, 2003, applicable to workers of Agilent
Technologies, Electronic Products and Solutions Group located in
Rohnert Park, California. The notice was published in the
Federal Register on May 19, 2003 (68 FR 27107).
At the request of petitioners, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. New information
shows that worker separations have occurred involving employees
of Agilent Technologies, Electronic Products and Solutions Group,
Rohnert Park, California working in Andover, Massachusetts.
These employees provide support services for the production of
test and measurement equipment and subassemblies produced by the
firm.
It is the Department’s intent to cover all workers of the
firm impacted by the shift in production from Agilent
Technologies, Electronic Products and Solutions Group, Rohnert
Park, California to Malaysia. Accordingly, the Department is
amending the certification to extend coverage to employees of
Agilent Technologies, Electronic Products and Solutions Group,
Rohnert Park, California, working in Andover, Massachusetts.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-51,247 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Agilent Technologies, Electronic Products
and Solutions Group, Rohnert Park, California (TA-W-51,247),
and Agilent Technologies, Electronic Products and Solutions
Group, Andover, Massachusetts (TA-W-51,247B), who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
March 13, 2002, through May 5, 2005, are eligible to apply
for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act
of 1974."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 26th day of October, 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)(B) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on March 21, 2003 in response
to a petition filed by workers of Agilent Technologies, Electronic
Products and Solutions Group located in Rohnert Park, California
(TA-W-51,247) and Santa Rosa, California (TA-W-51,247A). The
workers of the subject firm produce test and measurement equipment
and sub-assemblies; they are not separately identifiable by product
line.
The investigation revealed that workers at Agilent
Technologies, Microelectronics Division, in Rohnert Park,
California were certified eligible to apply for trade adjustment
assistance under petition number TA-W-41,509 and which remains in
effect through September 3, 2004.
The investigation revealed that employment in Agilent
Technologies, Electronic Products and Solutions Group in Rohnert
Park and Santa Rosa, California, decreased from January to March in
2003 when compared to the same period in 2002.
Furthermore, the investigation revealed that the preponderance
of declines in employment is related to a shift in production of
test and measurement equipment and sub-assemblies to Malaysia.
Moreover, the investigation revealed that subject company
imports of test and measurement equipment and sub-assemblies
increased during the relevant period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that there was a shift in production
from the workers’ firm or subdivision to Malaysia of articles that
are like or directly competitive with production of test and
measurement equipment and sub-assemblies 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 Agilent Technologies, Electronic Products and
Solutions Group, Rohnert Park, California (TA-W-51,247) and
Agilent Technologies, Electronic Products and Solutions Group,
Santa Rosa, California (TA-W-51,247A), who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after March 13, 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."
