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 of Labor issued a Certification of
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on November
24, 1997, applicable to all workers of Motorola, Broadband
Communications Sector, Tewksbury, Massachusetts. The notice was
published in the Federal Register on May 19, 2003 (68 FR 27207).
At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. New findings show
that the Department incorrectly issued certification coverage to
all workers of the subject firm. The intent of the Department's
certification is to cover only workers manufacturing carrier
class edge router for cable television systems at Motorola,
Broadband Communications Sector, Tewksbury, Massachusetts who
were adversely affected by the shift in production to Mexico.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification
determination to properly reflect this matter.


The amended notice applicable to TA-W-33,966 is hereby
issued as follows:
"Workers manufacturing carrier class edge router for
cable television systems at Motorola, Broadband
Communications Sector, Tewksbury, Massachusetts, who
became totally or partially separated from employment
on after April 18, 2002, through May 7, 2005, are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."

Signed at Washington, D.C. this 21st day of May 2003.

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 April 22, 2003, and filed by the company on behalf of
workers at Motorola, Broadband Communications Sector, Tewksbury,
Massachusetts. The workers produce carrier class edge routers for
cable television systems.
The decline in employment at the subject plant is related to a shift in plant production of
carrier class edge routers for cable television systems 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 determine that there was a shift in production
from the workers’ firm or subdivision to Mexico 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 Motorola, Broadband Communications Sector,
Tewksbury, Massachusetts, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after April 18, 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 7th day of May 2003.
