Amended 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), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification
of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on February 13, 2007,
applicable to workers of Enhanced Mfg. Solutions, formerly known
as Viking New Castle, LLC, working on-site at Delphi, New Castle,
Indiana. The notice was published in the Federal Register on
February 27, 2007 (72 FR 8794).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are contracted to produce steering columns on-site at Delphi.
New information shows that leased workers of HSS Material
Management Solutions and Oberle & Associates, Inc. were employed
on-site at the New Castle, Indiana location of Delphi.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include leased workers of HSS Material
Management Solutions and Oberle & Associates, Inc. working on-
site at Delphi, New Castle, Indiana.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers employed on-site at Delphi, New Castle, Indiana who
were adversely affected by a shift in production to Mexico.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-60,819 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Enhanced Mfg. Solutions, formerly known
as Viking New Castle, LLC, including leased workers of
HSS Material Management Solutions and Oberle &
Associates, Inc., working on-site at Delphi, New
Castle, Indiana, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after January 15, 2006,
through February 13, 2009, 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 at Washington, D.C. this 20th day of April 2007.

WORKING ON-SITE AT DELPHI
NEW CASTLE, INDIANA

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 January 24, 2007, in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Enhanced Mfg.
Solutions, formerly known as Viking New Castle, LLC, working on-
site at Delphi, New Castle, Indiana. The workers of the subject
firm are contracted to produce steering columns on behalf of
Delphi, their customer.
Some workers’ wages were reported under another Federal
Employer Identification Number (FEID) for Viking New Castle, LLC.
The investigation revealed that workers of Enhanced Mfg.
Solutions worked on-site at, operating, their customer’s production
facility in New Castle.
Employment at the subject firm decreased from 2005 to January
through October 2006.
Furthermore, the investigation revealed that one line of the
steering column production shifted from the subject firm New
Castle, Indiana 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 do not possess skills that are easily transferable.
Competitive conditions within the industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that there was a shift in production
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 Enhanced Mfg. Solutions, formerly known as
Viking New Castle, LLC, working on-site at Delphi, New Castle,
Indiana who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after January 15, 2006 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.”
