Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply For Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility To Apply For
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 an investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance as a secondarily affected
worker group.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility for secondary workers to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance, the group eligibility requirements of
paragraph (b) of Section 222 of the Trade Act, as amended, must be
met. It is determined in this case that the requirements of (b) of
Section 222, as amended, have been met.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on August 24, 2005, filed on behalf of workers of Vectron
International, Inc., a subsidiary of Dover Technologies, Norwalk,
Connecticut. Workers at the subject facility are engaged in the
production of crystals, crystal oscillators, clock and data
recovery products.
The investigation revealed that Vectron International, Inc., a
subsidiary of Dover Technologies, Norwalk, Connecticut, supplies
component parts for electronic assemblies and printed circuit
boards, and at least 20 percent of its production or sales is
supplied to a manufacturer whose workers were certified eligible to
apply for trade adjustment assistance.
In addition, 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.
The group eligibility criteria for the ATAA program that the
Department must consider under Section 246 of the Trade Act are:
1. Whether a significant number of workers in the workers'
firm are 50 years of age or older.

2. Whether the workers in the workers' firm possess skills
that are not easily transferable.

3. The competitive conditions within the workers' industry
(i.e., conditions within the industry are adverse).

The Department has determined that criterion 2 has not been
met.
The workers of the subject firm possess skills that are easily
transferable.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Vectron International,
Inc., a subsidiary of Dover Technologies, Norwalk, Connecticut
qualify as adversely affected secondary workers under Section 222
of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Vectron International, Inc., a subsidiary of
Dover Technologies, Norwalk, Connecticut, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after August 15,
2004 through two years from the date of certification are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223
of the Trade Act of 1974."
I further determine that all workers of Vectron International,
Inc., a subsidiary of Dover Technologies, Norwalk, Connecticut
are denied eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjust-
ment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.
