ALEXANDER TECHNOLOGIES USA INCORPORATED
A SUBSIDIARY OF CASEY HOLDINGS LIMITED
MASON CITY, IOWA

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 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)(B) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on May 15, 2007 in response to
a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of
Alexander Technologies USA Incorporated, A subsidiary of Casey
Holdings Limited, Mason City, Iowa. The workers produce
rechargeable battery packs and battery chargers.
The investigation also revealed that the preponderance of
declines in employment at the subject facility is related to a
shift in production of rechargeable battery packs and battery
chargers to Malaysia. The investigation further revealed that the
subject firm increased imports of rechargeable battery packs and
battery chargers in 2005, 2006 and year to date 2007.
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 was a shift in production from the
workers' firm or subdivision to Malaysia of articles like or
directly competitive with rechargeable battery packs and battery
chargers produced by Alexander Technologies USA Incorporated, A
subsidiary of Casey Holdings Limited, Mason City, Iowa, 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 Alexander Technologies USA Incorporated, A
subsidiary of Casey Holdings Limited, Mason City, Iowa, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after May 14, 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 6th day of June 2007
