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 in response to a petition
received on March 26, 2003 and filed on behalf of workers at
Powerwave Technologies, Santa Ana, California. The workers
produce power amplifiers for the telephone industry.
The investigation revealed that plant sales, production and
employment declined during the relevant period.
The investigation further revealed that the company
increased their imports of power amplifiers for the telephone
industry during the relevant period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with power amplifiers produced at
Powerwave Technologies, Santa Ana, California 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 Powerwave Technologies, Santa Ana,
California 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, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 17th day of April, 2003.
