TEMCO METAL COMPANY
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS OF
EXPRESS PERSONNEL
CLACKAMAS, OREGON

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 June 12, 2007, 2007,
applicable to workers of Temco Metal Company, Clackamas, Oregon.
The notice was published in the Federal Register on June 28, 2007
(72 FR 35516).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
were engaged in the production of fuel tank components and
accessories for class 8 trucks.
New information provided by the State agency representative
shows that leased workers of Express Personnel were employed on-
site at the Clackamas, Oregon location of Temco Metal Company.
The Department has determined that the Express Personnel workers
were sufficiently under the control of Temco Metal Company to be
considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include temporary workers of Express Personnel
working on-site at the Clackamas, Oregon location of the subject
firm.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers at Temco Metal Company, Clackamas, Oregon who were
adversely affected as an upstream supplier for a trade certified
primary firm.


The amended notice applicable to TA-W-61,418 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Temco Metal Company, including on-site
leased workers of Express Personnel, Clackamas, Oregon,
who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after April 27, 2006, through June 12,
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 14th day of August 2007

TEMCO METAL COMPANY
CLACKAMAS, OREGON

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), 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 May 2, 2007 in response to
a petition filed by an Oregon State Agency Representative on behalf
of workers of Temco Metal Company, Clackamas, Oregon. The workers
produce fuel tank components and accessories for class 8 trucks.
The investigation revealed that sales and employment at the
subject facility declined in January through April 2007 compared
with the same period in 2006.
The investigation also revealed that Temco Metal Company,
Clackamas, Oregon supplies fuel component parts for class 8 trucks
and at least 20 percent of its production or sales was supplied to
a manufacturer of trucks whose workers were certified eligible to
apply for adjustment assistance.
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 workers at Temco Metal Company,
Clackamas, Oregon, 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 Temco Metal Company, Clackamas, Oregon who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after April 27, 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 at Washington, D.C., this 12th day of June 2007.
