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 its 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)(A) of Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on June 26, 2003 in
response to a petition filed by an authorized State
representative on behalf of workers at Trombetta, LLC, Menomonee
Falls, Wisconsin. The workers produce solenoids and switches.
The investigation revealed decreased subject company
production and employment and increased subject company import
purchases during the relevant time periods.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with solenoids and switches
produced at Trombetta, LLC, Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin
contributed importantly to the total or partial separation of
workers and to the decline in sales or production and at that
firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the
Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Trombetta, LLC, Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after June 25, 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, as
amended."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 29th day of July 2003.
