Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) the Department of Labor issued a Notice of
Certification Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance on December 10, 2002, applicable to workers
of Reliant Bolt, Inc., Bedford Park, Illinois. The notice was
published in the Federal Register on December 26, 2002 (67 FR
78817).
At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. Information shows
that Reliant Fastener, Rock Falls, Illinois is a sister facility
of Reliant Bolt, Inc. All workers were separated at Reliant
Fastener when the facility closed in November 2002. The workers
were engaged in the production of fasteners for industrial and
automobile industries.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to
include workers of Reliant Fastener, Rock Falls, Illinois.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-50,001 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Reliant Bolt, Inc., Bedford Park, Illinois
(TA-W-50,001) and all workers of Reliant Fastener, Rock
Falls, Illinois (TA-W-50,001A), who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after November 4,
2001, through December 10, 2004, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974.@
Signed at Washington, D.C. this 5th day of February 2003.

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, 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 in response to a petition
received on November 4, 2002 and filed by United Steel Workers of
America on behalf of workers at Reliant Bolt, Inc., Bedford Park,
Illinois. The workers produced fasteners for industrial and
automobile industries.
The investigation revealed that subject plant sales,
production and employment declined during the relevant period.
The Department of Labor conducted a survey of the subject
firm's major declining customers regarding their purchases of
fasteners. The survey revealed that customers increased their
purchases of imported fasteners during the relevant period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with fasteners produced at Reliant
Bolt, Inc., Bedford Park, Illinois 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 Reliant Bolt, Inc., Bedford Park, Illinois
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after November 4, 2001 through two years from the date of
certification are eligible to apply for adjustment assis-
tance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 10th day of December, 2002.
