CMOR MANUFACTURING, INC.
ROCKLIN, CALIFORNIA
Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (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 January 18, 2006 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers of CMOR Manufacturing,
Inc., Rocklin, California. The workers produced custom cable
assemblies.
The investigation revealed that sales, production, and
employment at the subject firm declined absolutely upon its
shutdown in March of 2005.
The Department of Labor surveyed the subject firm's major
customers regarding their purchases of custom cable assemblies in
2003, 2004 and January through March 2005. The survey revealed
increases in import purchases.
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.
The group eligibility criteria for the ATAA program
that the Department must consider under Section 246 of the
Trade Act are:
1. Whether a significant number of workers in the
workers' firm are 50 years of age or older.
2. Whether the workers in the workers' firm possess
skills that are not easily transferable.
3. The competitive conditions within the workers'
industry (i.e., conditions within the industry are
adverse).
The Department has determined that criterion 1 has not been
met.
The investigation revealed that there is not a significant
number of workers at the subject firm who are 50 years of age or
older.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive produced by CMOR Manufacturing, Inc.,
Rocklin, California, contributed to the total or partial separation
of workers and to the decline in sales or production and at that
firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Act,
I make the following certification:
"All workers of CMOR Manufacturing, Inc., Rocklin, California,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after January 18, 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."
I further determine that all workers of CMOR Manufacturing,
Inc., Rocklin, California, are denied eligibility to apply for
alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the
Trade Act of 1974, as amended.
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 9th day of February, 2006
