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 December 3, 2003, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Schrader Bridgeport International, Inc., Muskogee,
Oklahoma. The workers at the subject facility produce automotive
aftermarket accessories (automotive electronics, tire valves and
gauges, fuel delivery system components, air conditioning
components, automotive chassis components, and engine management);
they are not separately identifiable by product line.
A significant number or proportion of workers at the subject
facility are threatened to become separated from employment.
Furthermore, the investigation revealed that the subject
facility shifted production of the automotive aftermarket
accessories (automotive electronics, tire valves and gauges, fuel
delivery system components, air conditioning components, automotive
chassis components, and engine management) from Muskogee, Oklahoma
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 Schrader Bridgeport International, Inc.,
Muskogee, Oklahoma who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after November 26, 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 5th day of January 2004
