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 August 12, 2003 in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of
Marshall Gas Controls, a division of S.H. Leggitt Co., San Marcos,
Texas. The workers at the subject firm produce propane regulators
for outdoor use.
The investigation revealed that employment at the subject firm
declined during the period of January through August 2003 compared
with the same period of 2002.
The subject firm will shift production of the regulators from
San Marcos, Texas 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 Marshall Gas Controls, a division of S.H.
Leggitt Co., San Marcos, Texas, 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 3rd day of September 2003
