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 September 30, 2003
in response to a petition filed by a State agency
representative on behalf of a worker at ATMI-Ecosys,
Materials Lifecycle Solutions, Napa, California. The
workers produced environmental abatement equipment.
The investigation revealed that employment decreased
in the relevant period. The company shifted production from
the subject facility to a foreign source. The company
plans to import as a result of the shift in production.
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
Singapore of articles that are like or directly competitive
with those produced by the subject firm or subdivision, and
there has been or is likely to be an increase in imports of
like or directly competitive articles. In accordance with
the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:


"All workers of ATMI-Ecosys, Materials Lifecycle
Solutions, Napa, California who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after
September 29, 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 20th day of October 2003.
