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 February 15, 2007 in
response to a petition filed by a state agency representative on
behalf of workers of Flynn Enterprises, LLC, Skyline Division,
Hopkinsville, Kentucky (TA-W-60,960) and Flynn Enterprises, LLC,
Harrison Division, Hopkinsville, Kentucky (TA-W-60,960A). Workers
of both divisions produce denim jeans. The workers are separately
identifiable by location but not separately identifiable by
product.
The investigation revealed that employment at both divisions
declined in the relevant period and further separations are
anticipated.
The subject firm has shifted a portion of denim jeans
production to a country (Mexico), which is 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 both divisions 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 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 Flynn Enterprises, LLC, Skyline Division,
Hopkinsville, Kentucky (TA-W-60,960) and Flynn Enterprises,
LLC, Harrison Division, Hopkinsville, Kentucky (TA-W-60,960A),
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after February 9, 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 alternative
trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act
of 1974."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 21st day of March 2007
