McCord Winn Textron, Winchester, MA; Certification Regarding 
Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

    In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 USC 
2273) as amended by the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 
(P. L. 100-418), 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 adjustment assistance each of 
the group eligibility requirements of Section 222 of the Act must be 
met. It is determined in this case that all of the requirements have 
been met.
    The investigation was initiated in response to a petition received 
on December 19, 1994, and filed by a company official and the 
International Union of Electrical Workers, Local 277, on behalf of 
workers at McCord Winn Textron, Winchester, Massachusetts. The workers 
produce automobile fuel pump armatures.
    The Department of Labor surveyed the principal customer of the 
subject firm regarding its purchases of fuel pump armatures in 1992-
1993 and January to November, 1993-1994. The survey revealed that the 
customer is sourcing a large portion of the armatures formerly 
purchased from the subject firm with armatures produced abroad.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the facts obtained in the investigation, I 
conclude that increases of imports of articles like or directly 
competitive with automobile fuel pump armatures produced at McCord Winn 
Textron, Winchester, Massachusetts, contributed importantly to the 
decline in sales or production and to the total or partial separation 
of workers of that firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, 
I make the following certification:
    ``All workers of McCord Winn Textron, Winchester, Massachusetts, 
engaged in employment related to the production of automobile fuel pump 
armatures who became totally or partially separated from employment on 
or after December 8, 1993, 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 31st day of January, 1995.

Victor J. Trunzo,

Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of Trade 
Adjustment Assistance.
