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 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 a company official on behalf of workers of
Motorola, Inc., Broadband Communications Sector, Digital Media
Systems (DMS), San Diego, California. The workers of the subject
group produced commercial satellite encoders.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the subject
facility is related to a shift in production of commercial
satellite encoders 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, Inc., Broadband Communications
Sector, Digital Media Systems (DMS), San Diego, California who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after June 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 3rd day of July, 2003
