Lucent Technologies (Now Known as Celestica), Columbus Works, 
Columbus, OH; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    By letter of February 28, 2002, the International Brotherhood of 
Electrical Workers, Local 2020 requested administrative reconsideration 
regarding the Department's Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility 
to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance, applicable to the workers of 
the subject firm.
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
issued on January 31, 2002, based on the finding that imports of 
circuit packs did not contribute importantly to worker separations at 
Lucent Technologies, (now known as Celestica), Columbus Works, 
Columbus, Ohio. The denial notice was published in the Federal Register 
on February 13, 2002 (67 FR 6748).
    The petitioner on reconsideration alleged that the company shifted 
production of circuit packs to Canada and China and began importing the 
products back to the United States during the relevant period.
    A review of data supplied in the initial investigation and further 
clarification obtained from the company shows that a major portion of 
production at the subject firm was transferred to foreign sources and 
that greater than half of that production was imported back to the 
United States during the relevant period.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I conclude that increased imports of articles like or 
directly competitive with those produced at Lucent Technologies, (now 
known as Celestica), Columbus Works, Columbus, Ohio, contributed 
importantly to the declines in sales or production and to the total or 
partial separation of workers at the subject firm. In accordance with 
the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:

    All workers of Lucent Technologies, (now known as Celestica), 
Columbus Works, Columbus, Ohio, who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after October 10, 2000 through two 
years from the date of this certification, are eligible to apply for 
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed in Washington, DC, this 30th day of May, 2002.
Edward A. Tomchick,
Director, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
