Amended Notice of 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 July 16, 2003, applicable to workers of
Magnequench UG, Valparaiso, Indiana. The notice was published in
the Federal Register on August 5, 2003 (68 FR 46231).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. New
information shows that a worker separation occurred involving an
employee of the Valparaiso, Indiana facility of Magnequench UG
who was located in Morgan Hills, California. Mr. James Place
provided sales support services for the production of permanent
magnets at the Valparaiso, Indiana location of the subject firm.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include an employee of the Valparaiso, Indiana
facility of Magnequench UG located in Morgan Hills, California.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of Magnequench UG, Valparaiso, Indiana, who were
adversely affected by a shift in production to Mexico.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-51,937 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Magnequench UG, Valparaiso, Indiana
(TA-W-51,937), including an employee of Magnequench UG,
Valparaiso, Indiana, located in Morgan Hills,
California (TA-W-51,937A), who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after May 30,
2002, through July 16, 2005 are eligible to apply for

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (19 USC 2273), 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 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)(B) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on June 3, 2003, in response
to a petition filed by U.S. Steelworkers of America, Local 1191, on
behalf of workers of Magnequench UG, Valparaiso, Indiana. The
workers produced permanent magnets.
The investigation revealed that the company is in the process
of transferring production from the subject facility to China.
Layoff at the subject plant will commence soon. The company will
import magnets as a result of the shift in production abroad.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that there was a shift in production
from the workers’ firm or subdivision to China of articles that are
like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject
firm or subdivision, and there has been or is likely to be an
increase in imports of like or directly competitive articles. In
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of Magnequench UG, Valparaiso, Indiana who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after May
30, 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."
