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, as
amended (19 USC 2273), the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of an 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)(B) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on September 27, 2006, in
response to a petition filed by the International Union of
Electronic, Electrical, Salaried, Machine and Furniture Workers
(IUE) on behalf of workers at Visteon Systems, LLC, Climate Control
Division, Connersville, Indiana. The workers produce "FS-10
Compressors" and are separately identifiable by product line.
The investigation revealed that declines in employment at the
subject facility are related to a shift in production of "FS-10
Compressors" to a country (Mexico) that is a party to a free trade
agreement with the United States.
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 investi-
gation, I conclude that there was a shift in production of "FS-10
Compressors" from the workers' firm or subdivision to Mexico of
articles that are like or directly competitive with those produced
by the subject firm or subdivision. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:





"All workers of Visteon Systems, LLC, Climate Control
Division, Connersville, Indiana, engaged in employment related
to the production of "FS-10 Compressors" who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after September 22,
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 19th day of October, 2006
