DIEBOLD SOUTHEAST MANUFACTURING, INC.
A SUBSIDIARY OF DIEBOLD INCORPORATED
MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS
DANVILLE, VIRGINIA

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative 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 its 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)(A) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on July 7, 2005, in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Diebold Southeast
Manufacturing, Inc., a subsidiary of Diebold, Inc., Manufacturing
Operations, Danville, Virginia. The workers at the subject firm
produce automatic teller machine (ATM) modules and physical
security products; they are not separately identifiable by articles
produced.
The investigation revealed that sales and employment at the
subject firm decreased during the period of January through June
2005 compared to the same period in 2004.
The investigation further revealed that the subject firm
increased imports of ATM modules during the relevant period.
In addition, in accordance with Section 246 of 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 an increase on imports of articles
like or directly competitive with ATM modules produced at the
subject firm contributed importantly to the total or partial
separation of workers and to the decline in sales or production at
that firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the
Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Diebold Southeast Manufacturing, Inc., a
subsidiary of Diebold, Inc., Manufacturing Operations,
Danville, Virginia who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after June 16, 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 28th day of July, 2005.
