FISHER CONTROLS
NORTH STONINGTON, CONNECTICUT
NOW LOCATED IN PAWCATUCK, CONNECTICUT
Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on January 8, 2004,
applicable to workers of Fisher Controls, North Stonington,
Connecticut. The notice was published in the Federal Register on
February 6, 2004 (69 FR 5867).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in the production of rotary valves.
New information shows that in October 2004, the subject firm
located in North Stonington, Connecticut, relocated to Pawcatuck,
Connecticut.
Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification
to include workers at the new location of the subject firm in
Pawcatuck, Connecticut.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include
all workers employed at Fisher Controls, who were adversely
affected by increased imports.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-53,722 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Fisher Controls, North Stonington,
Connecticut, now located in Pawcatuck, Connecticut, who
became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after December 2, 2002, through January 8, 2006,
are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also
eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment
assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.”
Signed at Washington, D.C. this 5th day of April 2005.

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade 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 December 5, 2003 in
response to a petition filed by the Connecticut Rapid Response Unit
Coordinator on behalf of workers of Fisher Controls, North
Stonington, Connecticut. The workers produce rotary valves.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm increased
their reliance on imported rotary valves while decreasing
employment and production in anticipation of a plant closing at
this location.
In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of its investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance
(ATAA) for older workers.
In order for the Department to issue a certification of
eligibility to apply for ATAA, the group eligibility requirements
of Section 246 of the Trade Act must be met. The Department has
determined in this case that the requirements of Section 246 have
been met.
A significant number of workers at the firm are age 50 or
over and possess skills that are not easily transferable.
Competitive conditions within the industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with rotary valves produced at Fisher
Controls, North Stonington, Connecticut 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 Fisher Controls, North Stonington, Connecticut
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after December 2, 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, and are also
eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance
under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.”
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 8th day of January, 2004.
