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), 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 March 15, 2007, in
response to a petition filed by the American Federation of Labor
- Congress of Industrial Organizations, East Tennessee on behalf
of workers at Modine Manufacturing Company, Clinton, Tennessee.
The workers produce radiators.
The investigation revealed that from January to February
2007 there was a decline in employment, sales, and production at
the subject firm as compared to the same time period the
previous year.
The Department of Labor surveyed the subject firm's major
declining customer regarding its purchases of radiators in 2005
and 2006 and January to February 2007. This survey revealed
increased imports of radiators during the period under
investigation.
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.
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 increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with radiators produced by Modine
Manufacturing Company, Clinton, Tennessee, contributed
importantly to the decline in employment 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 Modine Manufacturing Company, Clinton,
Tennessee, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after March 13, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 23rd day of April, 2007
