Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade 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 on June 8, 2004, in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of
the Dorr-Oliver Eimco USA, Inc., Formerly Known as Eimco
Processing Company, Milford, Connecticut. The workers are
engaged in activities related to accounting, engineering and
administrative support of the production at a corporately
affiliated facility.

In order for service workers to be considered eligible to
apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade
Act of 1974, the worker group seeking certification (or on whose
behalf certification is being sought) must work for a "firm" or
appropriate subdivision that produces an article domestically and
there must be a relationship between the workers' work and the
article produced by the workers' firm or appropriate
subdivision. The investigation revealed that production of an
article occurred within the firm and the subject workers are in
support of this production. Thus the worker group can be
considered import impacted or affected by a shift in production
of an article.
The investigation revealed that Dorr-Oliver Eimco USA, Inc.,
formerly Known as Eimco Processing Company, Salt Lake City, Utah
in which the subject firm workers support the production of
liquid\solid separation equipment are under an existing
certification under (TA-W-50,405) with an expiration date of
August 25, 2005.
The investigation further revealed that the declines in
employment at the subject plant is related to a shift in plant
production from its parent company to countries (Mexico and
Canada) that are parties to a free trade agreement with the
United States.

In addition, in accordance with Section 246 of the Trade Act
of 1974 (26 USC 2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein
presents the results of its investigation regarding certification
of eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment assis-
tance (ATAA) for older workers.
In order for the Department to issue a certification of
eligibility to apply for ATAA, the group eligibility requirements
of Section 246 of the Trade Act must be met. The Department has
determined in this case that the requirements of Section 246 have
been met.
A significant number of workers at the firm are age 50 or
over and possess skills that are not easily transferable.
Competitive conditions within the industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with carbon and alloy flat steel
mill products 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 Dorr-Oliver Eimco USA, Inc., Formerly Known
as Eimco Processing Company, Milford, Connecticut who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
June 2, 2003 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, and are
also eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment
assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974."
Signed in Washington, D. C., this 24th day of June, 2004.
