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 April 10, 2007 in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of
CNH America LLC, Belleville Manufacturing Plant, Belleville,
Pennsylvania. The workers produce agricultural machinery,
specifically front-end loaders, hay and forage equipment
(conditioners, rakes, forage harvesters, headers, and windrowers),
bale wagons, and spreaders.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Armstrong’s, CHD Meridian, FBG Service Corporation, Industrial
Distribution Group, Jim Buch’s Repair Services, Jon’s Industrial
Lube, Kelly Services, and Uti Integrated Logistics.
Workers of the subject facility were previously certified
eligible for trade adjustment assistance on March 6, 2003 (TA-W-
40,745). That certification expired March 6, 2004.
This investigation revealed that employment at the subject
facility declined in January through March 2007 compared with the
corresponding period in 2006.
The subject firm is shifting a portion of the production of
agricultural machinery to Mexico, a country that 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 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 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 CNH America LLC, including on-site leased
workers of Armstrong’s, CHD Meridian, FBG Service Corporation,
Industrial Distribution Group, Jim Buch’s Repair Services,
Jon’s Industrial Lube, Kelly Services, and Uti Integrated
Logistics, Belleville PA Plant, Belleville, Pennsylvania, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after April 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 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 2nd day of May 2007
