PURE FLO, LLC
A SUBSIDIARY OF ITT CORPORATION
KENOSHA, WISCONSIN

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 September 11, 2006 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Pure Flo, LLC,
a subsidiary of ITT Corporation, Kenosha, Wisconsin. The workers
at the subject firm produced process systems, vessels and custom
fabrications for the pharmaceutical industry.
The investigation revealed that sales, production and
employment at the subject firm decreased from 2004 to 2005 and
again during the period of January through August 2006 over the
corresponding 2005 period.
The Department of Labor surveyed the subject firm's major
declining customers regarding their purchases of process systems,
vessels and custom fabrication during 2004, 2005 and January
through August 2006 over the corresponding 2005 period. The survey
revealed increased customer imports of process systems, vessels and
custom fabrication during the period of January through August 2006
over the corresponding 2005 period.
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 determine that an increase in imports of articles
like or directly competitive with process systems, vessels and
custom fabrication produced at the subject firm 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 Pure Flo, LLC, a subsidiary of ITT
Corporation, Kenosha, Wisconsin, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after September 8,
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."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 12th day of October 2006.
