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 an investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance as a secondarily affected
worker group.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility for secondary workers to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance, the group eligibility requirements of
paragraph (b) of Section 222 of the Trade Act, as amended, must be
met. It is determined in this case that the requirements of (b) of
Section 222, as amended, have been met.
The investigation was initiated on July 1, 2003 in response to
a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of
Kimball Electronics, dba Kimball Manufacturing, Boise, Idaho. The
workers produced electromechanical assemblies and wire harnesses.
The investigation revealed that Kimball Electronics, dba
Kimball Manufacturing, Boise, Idaho supplies component parts for
semiconductor surface preparation equipment, and at least 20
percent of its production or sales is supplied to a manufacturer
whose workers were certified eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Kimball Electronics, dba
Kimball Manufacturing, Boise, Idaho qualify as adversely affected
secondary workers under Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
"All workers of Kimball Electronics, dba Kimball
Manufacturing, Boise, Idaho who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 26, 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 at Washington, D.C., this 18th day of July 2003.
