DANA CORPORATION
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS OF ADECCO
DANVILLE, KENTUCKY

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 12, 2006 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Dana
Corporation, Danville, Kentucky. Workers at the subject firm
manufacture engine gaskets.
The investigation revealed that subject firm also leased
workers from Adecco, Harrodsburg, Kentucky, to work on-site at the
Danville plant.
The investigation revealed that employment, sales, and
production at the subject firm declined from full year 2005 to full
year 2006.
The United States Department of Labor surveyed the subject
firm's major declining customers regarding their purchases of
engine gaskets in full year 2005 and full year 2006. The surveys
revealed increases in imports of engine gaskets 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 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 engine gaskets produced by Dana
Corporation, Danville, Kentucky, 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 Dana Corporation, Danville, Kentucky,
including on-site leased workers of Adecco, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after November
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 12th day of January 2007
