Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker 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 March 31, 2005, in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of
The Chamberlain Group, Inc., Commercial Products Division,
Ronkonkoma, New York. The workers at the subject facility produce
automatic commercial door and gate operators, and are not
separately identifiable by product.
The investigation revealed that employment at the subject
facility declined from 2004 to March of 2005.
The investigation further revealed that the subject facility
is currently shifting production of automatic commercial door and
gate operators to Mexico, a country that is a party to a free trade
agreement with the United States.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that there was a shift in production from
the workers' facility or subdivision to Mexico of articles that are
like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject
facility or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the
Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of The Chamberlain Group, Inc., Commercial
Products Division, Ronkonkoma, New York who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after March 29, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 26th day of April 2005.
