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 May 27, 2005 in response to
a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers at
KASCO Corporation, a subsidiary of Bairnco Corporation, St. Louis,
Missouri. The workers at the subject firm produce band saw blades
and grinder knives and plates.
The subject facility is currently certified under (TA-W-
52,057) due to a shift in production to a country (Mexico) with a
free trade agreement. The certification expires on June 26, 2005.
The threat of a decline in employment at the subject facility
is related to a shift in production of band saw blades and grinder
knives and plates to a country (Mexico) 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' firm or subdivision to Mexico 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 KASCO Corporation, a subsidiary of Bairnco
Corporation, St. Louis, Missouri who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after June 27, 2005
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 27th day of June, 2005.
