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.
The investigation was initiated on April 4, 2005 in response to
a petition filed on behalf of the workers of EMF Corporation,
Angola Electric Products Division, Angola, Indiana. The workers at
the subject facility produce electrical wiring harnesses.
The investigation revealed that EMF Corporation, Angola
Electric Products Division, Angola, Indiana, supplied electrical
wiring harnesses used in the production of commercial refrigeration
cases, and at least 20 percent of its production or sales was
supplied to a manufacturer whose workers were certified eligible to
apply for adjustment assistance.
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 workers of EMF Corporation, Angola
Electric Products Division, Angola, Indiana, 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 EMF Corporation, Angola Electric Products
Division, Angola, Indiana, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after March 24, 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 18th day of April 2005.
