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 on June 3, 2003, in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of
New Stamco, Inc., New Bremen, Ohio. The workers produce capital
equipment for the metals processing industry.
The investigation revealed that major bids submitted
unsuccessfully by the subject firm were awarded to foreign
manufactories and the subject firm was the lowest domestic bidder.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with capital equipment for the metals
processing industry produced at New Stamco, Inc., New Bremen, Ohio
contributed importantly to the total or partial separation of
workers and to the decline in sales or production at that firm or
subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make
the following certification:
"All workers of New Stamco, Inc., New Bremen, Ohio who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after May
21, 2002 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 3rd day of July, 2003
