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 March 16, 2004 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers of SR Telecom, Redmond,
Washington. The petitioning workers produce base stations and
customer premise wireless telecommunications equipment, and are
separately identifiable from others at the facility.
The investigation revealed that declines in employment at the
subject facility are related to a shift in production of base
stations and customer premise equipment to a country (Canada) 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 conclude that there was a shift in production from
the workers firm or subdivision to Canada of articles that are like
or directly competitive with base stations and customer premise
equipment produced by the subject firm or subdivision. In
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"Workers of SR Telecom, Redmond, Washington engaged in
employment related to the production of base stations and
customer premise equipment who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after March 15, 2003 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 7th day of April 2004.
