MOSS POINT, MISSISSIPPI

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.
The investigation was initiated on June 4, 2003 in response to
a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers at
Shipley Company, LLC, a subsidiary of Rohm & Haas, Moss Point,
Mississippi. The workers at the subject firm produce dry film
products and ancillaries; workers are not separately identifiable
by product line.
The investigation revealed that Shipley Company, LLC, a
subsidiary of Rohm & Haas, Moss Point, Mississippi, supplies dry
film products and ancillaries for circuit boards, and at least 20
percent of its production or sales is supplied to a manufacturer of
printed circuit boards, 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 Shipley Company, LLC, a
subsidiary of Rohm & Haas, Moss Point, Mississippi 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 Shipley Company, LLC, a subsidiary of Rohm &
Haas, Moss Point, Mississippi who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after May 21, 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 21st day of July, 2003.
