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)(B) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated November 12, 2003 in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers at
NTN-BCA Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of NTN-USA,
Greensburg, Indiana. The workers at the subject firm produce ball
bearings and anti-friction devices and are not separately
identifiable by product line.
The investigation revealed that sales and employment at the
subject firm decreased absolutely from 2001 to 2002.
Furthermore, the investigation revealed that the preponderance
of declines in employment at the subject firm is related to a shift
in production of ball bearings and anti-friction devices to Japan.
Moreover, the Department of Labor has determined that imports
of ball bearings and anti-friction devices are likely to increase.


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 Japan 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 NTN-BCA Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary
of NTN-USA, Greensburg, Indiana who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after November 11,
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 2nd day of December, 2003.
