CAMDEN, ARKANSAS

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 March 27, 2006 in
response to a petition filed by a state workforce agent on
behalf of workers at Barry Controls Defense and Industrial, a
subsidiary of the Hutchinson Group, Camden, Arkansas. The
workers produce electric motor gear pinions.
The investigation revealed that employment and sales at the
subject firm will decline absolutely upon its scheduled shutdown
in April of 2006.
The investigation also revealed that imports of electric
motor gear pinions by the subject firm from India are increasing
and contributing to separations at the firm.
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 conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with those produced at Barry
Controls Defense and Industrial, a subsidiary of the Hutchinson
Group, Camden, Arkansas contributed 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 Barry Controls Defense and Industrial, a
subsidiary of the Hutchinson Group, Camden, Arkansas who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after March 24, 2005 through two years from the date of
certification are eligible to apply for adjustment assis-
tance 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 30th day of March, 2006
