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 June 23, 2005 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers at Unit Parts Company, a Remy Inc. Company, Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma (TA-W-57,439) and Unit Parts Company, a Remy Inc.
Company, Edmond, Oklahoma (TA-W-57,439A) the workers are engaged
in employment related to the production of remanufactured
starters and alternators, and are separately identifiable by
location.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the
subject facilities are related to a shift in production of
remanufactured starters and alternators to a country (Mexico)
that is a party to a free trade agreement with the United
States.
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 these facilities 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 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 Unit Parts Company, a Remy Inc. Company,
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (TA-W-57,439) and Unit Parts
Company, a Remy Inc. Company, Edmond, Oklahoma (TA-W-
57,439A) who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after June 22, 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 11th day of July 2005.
