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 June 18, 2003 in
response to a petition filed by an authorized state
representative on behalf of workers of Prescolite, Inc., A
Division of Hubbell, Inc., El Dorado, Arkansas. The workers
produce lighting fixtures and related products, and parts.
The investigation revealed worker separations at the
subject company and a shift of production to Mexico.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude 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 Prescolite, Inc., A Division of Hubbell,
Inc., El Dorado, Arkansas, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 16, 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 27th day of June 2003.
