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 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 March 11, 2005 in response
to a petition filed by a state workforce agent on behalf of workers
at Team Manufacturing, Inc., Rancho Dominguez, California. The
workers produce stamped metal components.
The investigation revealed that Team Manufacturing, Inc.,
Rancho Dominguez, California supplies stamped component parts and
at least 20 percent of the sales of the subject firm were to a
manufacturer whose workers were certified eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance.
In addition, 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 workers of Team Manufacturing,
Inc., Rancho Dominguez, California 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 Team Manufacturing, Inc., Rancho Dominguez,
California who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after March 9, 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 at Washington, D.C., this 24th day of March, 2005.
