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 an investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance as a
secondarily affected worker group.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility for secondary workers to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance, the group eligibility requirements
of paragraph (b) of Section 222 of the Trade Act, as amended,
must be met. It is determined in this case that the requirements
of (b) of Section 222, as amended, have been met.
The investigation was initiated on January 10, 2007 in
response to a petition filed by a state agency representative on
behalf of workers of Hoover Universal, Inc., doing business as
Johnson Controls, Inc., AG Division, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Workers at the subject firm produced Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV)
seats and overhead systems.
The investigation revealed that Hoover Universal, Inc.,
doing business as Johnson Controls, Inc., AG Division, Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma, supplied component parts for SUVs, and at least
20 percent of its production or sales is supplied to a
manufacturer whose workers were certified eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance
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 criterion 1 has not been
met.
The investigation revealed that a significant number of
workers in the workers' firm are not 50 years of age or older.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hoover Universal,
Inc., doing business as Johnson Controls, Inc., AG Division,
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma qualify as adversely affected secondary
workers under Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.
In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
"All workers of workers Hoover Universal, Inc., doing
business as Johnson Controls, Inc., AG Division, Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after December 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
I further determine that all workers of Hoover Universal,
Inc., doing business as Johnson Controls, Inc., AG Division,
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma are denied eligibility to apply for
alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the
Trade Act of 1974.
Signed at Washington, D.C., this 2nd day of February 2007.
