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 August 5, 2003, in response
to a petition filed by the company official on behalf of workers of
Moog Aircraft, Salt Lake City, Utah. The workers produce flight
control components for aircraft.
The investigation revealed that sales and employment at the
subject plant declined during the relevant period.
The investigation further revealed that the subject firm
increased their reliance on imported flight control components
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 flight control components for
aircraft produced at Moog Aircraft, Salt Lake City, Utah
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 Moog Aircraft, Salt Lake City, Utah who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
July 31, 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 13th day of August, 2003.
