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 in response to a petition
received on August 4, 2003, and filed by the company on behalf of
workers at Cutler Hammer Inc. (formerly Innovative Technology,
Inc.,), division of the Eaton Corporation, Brooksville, Florida.
The workers produce surge suppression devices.
The decline in employment at the subject plant is related to a
shift in plant production of surge suppression devices to a country
(Canada) 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 Canada 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 Cutler Hammer Inc. (formerly doing business as
Innovative Technology, Inc.), division of the Eaton
Corporation, Brooksville, Florida, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after August 1,
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 7th day of August 2003.
