Pursuant to Section 221 of the Trade Act of 1974, an

An active certification covering the petitioning group of
workers is already in effect (TA-W-50,128). Consequently, further

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 November 19, 2002, in response to a petition filed on behalf of workers of GE Greenville Gas Turbines, LLC, Greenville, North Carolina. The workers produce gas turbines and related components.
The investigation revealed that production and employment declined in 2002 compared to 2001.
The Department of Labor surveyed GE Greenville’s major customers reducing their purchases of gas turbines and related components during 2000, 2001 and January through October 2002. The survey revealed that customers increased their imports during the period under investigation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles like or directly competitive with gas turbines and related components produced at GE Greenville Gas Turbines, LLC, Greenville, North Carolina 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 GE Greenville Gas Turbines, LLC, Greenville, North Carolina, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after November 15, 2001, through two years from the date of certification are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 7th day of February 2003.
