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 27, 2003, in response to
a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers at Endar
Corporation, a division of Blyth, Inc., Temecula, California. The
workers at the subject firm produce potpourri; they are not separately
identifiable by product line.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the subject
firm is related to a shift in production of potpourri 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 Endar Corporation, a division of Blyth, Inc.,
Temecula, California who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after June 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 in Washington, D.C. this 11th day of July, 2003.
