COTO DIVISION OF KEARNEY-NATIONAL, INC.
DBA COTO TECHNOLOGY
A SUBSIDIARY OF DYSON-KISSNER-MORAN CORPORATION
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS OF TALENT TREE STAFFING
PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND

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 August 2, 2005 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Coto Division of
Kearney-National, Inc., dba Coto Technology, a subsidiary of Dyson-
Kissner-Moran Corporation, Providence, Rhode Island. The workers at
the subject firm produced reed relays.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm also leased
workers on-site from Talent Tree Staffing to produce reed relays.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at Coto
Division of Kearney-National, Inc., dba Coto Technology, a
subsidiary of Dyson-Kissner-Moran Corporation, including leased
workers of Talent Tree Staffing, Providence, Rhode Island is
related to a shift in production of reed relays to a country
(Mexico) that is a party to a free trade agreement with the United
States.
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 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 the reed relays produced by the
subject firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of
the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Coto Division of Kearney-National, Inc., dba
Coto Technology, a subsidiary of Dyson-Kissner-Moran
Corporation, including on-site leased workers of Talent Tree
Staffing, Providence, Rhode Island who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after August 1, 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 17th day of August 2005.
