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), 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 October 13, 2006, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Mosey Manufacturing, Co., Inc., Plant 7, Richmond,
Indiana. The workers produce light duty automotive cylinder
liners.
The investigation revealed that production and employment at
the subject firm decreased during the relevant period.
The Department of Labor surveyed the subject firms' major
declining customers regarding their purchases of phosphor bronze
strip in 2004, 2005 and January through September 2006 over the
corresponding 2005 period. The survey revealed a major customer
increased their reliance on imported light duty automotive cylinder
liners during the period under investigation.
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 addition, 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 criteria (1) have not

been met.
The investigation revealed a significant number of workers in
the workers' firm are not 50 years of age or older.
Significant number or proportion of the workers in a firm or
appropriate subdivision means at least three workers in a workforce
of fewer than 50 workers, five percent of the workers in a
workforce of over 50 workers.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports light duty
automotive cylinder liners produced by Mosey Manufacturing, Co.,
Inc., Plant 7, Richmond, Indiana 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 Mosey Manufacturing, Co., Inc., Plant 7,
Richmond, Indiana, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after October 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."
I further determine that all workers of Mosey Manufacturing,
Co., Inc., Plant 7, Richmond, Indiana are denied eligibility to
apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246
of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C., this 27th day of October, 2006.
