DANLY IEM, LLC
A SUBSIDIARY OF CONNELLY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
CLEVELAND, OHIO

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 December 4, 2006 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Danly IEM, LLC, a subsidiary of Connelly Limited
Partnership, Cleveland, Ohio. The workers produce punches for the
stamping industry.
The investigation also revealed that in January through
November 2006 as compared with January through November 2005, the
subject firm increased import purchases of punches while
experiencing a decrease in sales and production.
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 determine that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with punches for the stamping industry
produced by Danly IEM, LLC, a subsidiary of Connelly Limited
Partnership, Cleveland, Ohio, 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 Danly IEM, LLC, a subsidiary of Connelly
Limited Partnership, Cleveland, Ohio, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after November 13,
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 21st day of December 2006
