DANA CORPORATION
HEAVY VEHICLE TECHNOLOGIES AND SYSTEM OPERATIONS
PRODUCT SERVICE CENTER
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS OF ADECCO
STATESVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA

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 May 24, 2007,
applicable to workers of Dana Corporation, Heavy Vehicle
Technologies and System Operations, Product Service Center,
Statesville, North Carolina. The notice was published in the
Federal Register on June 7, 2007 (72 FR 31616).
At the request of the petitioners, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in the production of axles, transmissions, torque
converters and transfer cases.
New information shows that leased workers of Adecco were
employed on-site at the Statesville, North Carolina location of
Dana Corporation, Heavy Vehicle Technologies and System
Operations, Product Service Center. The Department has determined
that the Adecco workers were sufficiently under the control of
Dana Corporation to be considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include leased workers of Adecco working on-site
at the Statesville, North Carolina location of the subject firm.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers employed at Dana Corporation, Heavy Vehicle
Technologies and System Operations, Product Service Center,
Statesville, North Carolina who were adversely affected by a
shift in production to Belgium.



The amended notice applicable to TA-W-61,428 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Dana Corporation, Heavy Vehicle
Technologies and System Operations, Product Service
Center, including on-site leased workers of Adecco,
Statesville, North Carolina, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after April
30, 2006, through May 24, 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.”

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 May 2, 2007 in response to
a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers at Dana
Corporation, Heavy Vehicle Technologies and System Operations,
Product Service Center, Statesville, North Carolina. The workers
produce axles, transmissions, torque converters, and transfer
cases. The workers are not separately identifiable by product.
The investigation revealed that a significant number or
proportion of workers at the subject facility are threatened to
become separated from employment.
The decline in employment at the subject firm is directly
attributable to a shift in production of axles, transmissions,
torque converters, and transfer cases to Belgium. Axles,
transmissions, torque converters, and transfer cases produced in
Belgium will be imported to 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 Belgium of articles that
are like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject
firm or subdivision, and there has been or is likely to be an
increase in imports of like or directly competitive articles. In
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of Dana Corporation, Heavy Vehicle Technologies
and System Operations, Product Service Center, Statesville,
North Carolina, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after April 30, 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.”
