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 30, 2003 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Laser Excel, div. of
Stencil Aire, LLC, Green Lake, Wisconsin. The workers produce
stencils and templates.
The investigation revealed that major declining customers of
the subject firm increased their purchases of imported stencils and
templates during the relevant period.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with stencils and templates produced
at Laser Excel, div. of Stencil Aire, LLC, Green Lake, Wisconsin
contributed importantly to the total or partial separation of
workers and to the decline in sales or production at that firm or
subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make
the following certification:
"All workers of Laser Excel, div. of Stencil Aire, LLC, Green
Lake, Wisconsin who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after June 27, 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 September, 2003.
