INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS OF JACI CARROLL STAFFING AND
ALTERNATIVE EMPLOYMENT, INC.
TORRINGTON, CONNECTICUT
Amended 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), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974, (26USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification
of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on September 6, 2005,
applicable to workers of Nidec America Corporation, Manufacturing
Division, A Subsidiary of Nidec Corporation-Japan, including on-
site leased workers of Jaci Carroll Staffing and Alternative
Employment, Inc., Torrington, Connecticut. The notice was
published in the Federal Register on October 6, 2005 (70 FR
584777).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. New findings
show that the Department limited the certification coverage to
only workers of the Manufacturing Division of the subject firm.
The intent of the Department's certification is to cover all
workers manufacturing fans and motors at Nidec America
Corporation, A Subsidiary of Nidec Corporation-Japan, Torrington,
Connecticut, who were adversely affected by increased company
imports.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification
determination to properly reflect this matter.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-57,816 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Nidec America Corporation, A Subsidiary
of Nidec Corporation-Japan, including on-site leased
workers of Jaci Carroll Staffing and Alternative
Employment, Inc., Torrington, Connecticut, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on after
August 22, 2004, through September 6, 2007, 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 17th day of October 2003.

NIDEC AMERICA CORPORATION
MANUFACTURING DIVISION
A SUBSIDIARY OF NIDEC CORPORATION-JAPAN
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS OF JACI CARROLL STAFFING AND
ALTERNATIVE EMPLOYMENT, INC.
TORRINGTON, CONNECTICUT
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 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 August 23, 2005, in
response to a petition filed by a state representative
(Connecticut) on behalf of workers of Nidec America Corporation,
Manufacturing Division, A Subsidiary of Nidec Corporation-Japan,
Torrington, Connecticut. The workers produce fans and motors.
The subject firm leased workers from Jaci Carroll Staffing and
Alternative Employment, Inc. during the relevant period.
The investigation revealed that employment declined during
January through July 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004.
The subject firm increased imports of fans and motors in 2004,
and January through July 2005.
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 increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with fans and motors produced at Nidec
America Corporation, Manufacturing Division, A Subsidiary of Nidec
Corporation-Japan, Torrington, Connecticut 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 Nidec America Corporation, Manufacturing
Division, A Subsidiary of Nidec Corporation-Japan, Torrington,
Connecticut, including on-site leased workers of Jaci Carroll
Staffing and Alternative Employment, Inc., who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after August 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.”
