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, 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 February 8, 2005 in response to a
petition filed on behalf of workers at SET Enterprises, Warren, Michigan
(TA-W-56,527). The workers at the facility produce automotive stampings,
blankings, and assembly; they are not separately identifiable.
The investigation revealed that sales, production and employment
declined during the relevant period.
Furthermore, the subject firm shifted production of automotive
stamping, blankings, and assembly to a country (Canada) that is party to
a free trade agreement with the United States during the relevant period.
In accordance with Section 246 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 assistance (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 there was a shift in production from the workers' firm or
subdivision to Canada of articles that are like or directly competitive
with those produced by the subject firm or subdivision. In accordance
with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of SET Enterprises, Warren, Michigan who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after February 7, 2004
through two years from the date of certification are eligible to
apply for adjustment assistance 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 17th day of February 2005.
