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 an investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance as a secondarily affected
worker group.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility for secondary workers to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance, the group eligibility requirements of
paragraph (b) of Section 222 of the Trade Act, as amended, must be
met. It is determined in this case that the requirements of (b) of
Section 222, as amended, have been met.
The investigation was initiated on December 15, 2004 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers of ITW
Shakeproof, Guttenberg, Iowa. The workers produced screws and
fasteners.
The investigation revealed that of ITW Shakeproof,
Guttenberg, Iowa supplies component parts for miniature circuit
breakers, and at least 20 percent of its production or sales is
supplied to a manufacturer whose workers were certified eligible
to apply for adjustment assistance.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of ITW Shakeproof,
Guttenberg, Iowa qualify as adversely affected secondary workers
under Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended. In
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of ITW Shakeproof, Guttenberg, Iowa who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
December 14, 2003, 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 at Washington, D.C., this 10th day of January 2005
