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 an investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance as a secondarily affected
worker group.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility for secondary workers to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance, the group eligibility requirements of
paragraph (b) of Section 222 of the Trade Act, as amended, must be
met. It is determined in this case that the requirements of (b) of
Section 222, as amended, have been met.
The investigation was initiated on in response to a petition
received on June 2, 2003 in response to a petition filed on behalf
of workers at Sanmina-SCI, Electronics Manufacturing Services
Division, Lynchburg, Virginia. The workers produced cable modem,
CDMA and TDMA components for radio base stations.
The investigation revealed that employment at the subject firm
declined during the relevant period.
The investigation also revealed that Sanmina-SCI, Electronics
Manufacturing Services Division, Lynchburg, Virginia supplies
component parts for Ericsson, Inc., Supply & Distribution Division,
Lynchburg, Virginia (TA-W-52,204), and at least 20 percent of its
production or sales is supplied to a manufacturer whose workers
were certified eligible to apply for adjustment assistance.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Sanmina-SCI, Electronics
Manufacturing Services Division, Lynchburg, Virginia qualify as
adversely affected secondary workers under Section 222 of the Trade
Act of 1974, as amended. In accordance with the provisions of the
Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Sanmina-SCI, Electronics Manufacturing
Services Division, Lynchburg, Virginia who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after May 19, 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 at Washington, D.C., this 23rd day of July, 2003.
