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 on May 7, 2003 in response to
a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers at
Lyall Technologies, Inc., Murray Products Division, Murray, Iowa.
The workers at the subject facility produce high-volume electrical
harnesses; they are not separately identifiable by product line.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the subject
facility is related to a shift in facility production of high-
volume electrical harnesses 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 Lyall Technologies, Inc., Murray Products
Division, Murray, Iowa who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after May 5, 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 30th day of May, 2003.
