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 November 18, 2003, in response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of Maynard Steel Casting Co., Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The workers at the subject firm produce steel castings.
The investigation revealed that sales and employment at the subject firm decreased from 2001 to 2002, and during the period of January through October of 2003 when compared to the same period in 2002.
The Department of Labor surveyed the subject firms major declining customers regarding their purchases of steel castings. This survey revealed increases in imports of steel castings during the period under investigation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles like or directly competitive with steel castings produced at Maynard Steel Casting Co., Milwaukee, Wisconsin 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 Maynard Steel Casting Co., Milwaukee, Wisconsin who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after November 3, 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 12th day of December 2003.
