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 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 6, 2004 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Heller
Industries, Inc., Florham Park, New Jersey. The workers at the
subject firm produce reflow ovens, which are used in the production
of circuit boards.
The investigation revealed that sales, production, and
employment at the subject firm declined during the relevant period.



The investigation further revealed that the subject firm
increased imports of reflow ovens during the relevant period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with the reflow ovens produced by
workers of Heller Industries, Inc., Florham Park, New Jersey
contributed importantly to the total or partial separation of
workers and to the decline in sales or production and at that firm
or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I
make the following certification:
"All workers of Heller Industries, Inc., Florham Park, New
Jersey, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after December 5, 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 20th day of December 2004.
