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)(B) of Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on August 14, 2003 and filed on behalf of workers at
Inflation Systems, Inc., Moses Lake Operations, Moses Lake,
Washington. The workers produced inflators for airbags.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the
subject plant is related to a shift in plant production of
inflators for airbags 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 of production
from the workers firm or subdivision to Mexico of articles 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 Inflation Systems, Inc., Moses Lake
Operations, Moses Lake, Washington engaged in employment
related to the production of inflators for airbags, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after August 13, 2002 through two years from the date of
certification are eligible to apply for adjustment assis-
tance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 27th day of August, 2003.
