TERRELL BROTHERS MANUFACTURING COMPANY
DENTON, NORTH CAROLINA

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 an investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance as a secondarily affected
worker group.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility for secondary workers to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance, the group eligibility requirements of
paragraph (b) of Section 222 of the Trade Act, as amended, must be
met. It is determined in this case that the requirements of (b) of
Section 222, as amended, have been met.
The investigation was initiated on April 11, 2006 in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of
Terrell Brothers Manufacturing Company, Denton, North Carolina.
The workers produce components for wood furniture.
The investigation revealed that Terrell Brothers
Manufacturing Company, Denton, North Carolina supplies component
parts for wood furniture, and at least 20 percent of its
production or sales is supplied to a manufacturer whose workers
were certified eligible to apply for adjustment assistance.
In addition, 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 workers of Terrell Brothers
Manufacturing Company, Denton, North Carolina qualify as adversely
affected secondary workers under Section 222 of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I
make the following certification:


"All workers of Terrell Brothers Manufacturing Company,
Denton, North Carolina who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after March 12, 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, and are also eligible to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of
1974."
