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)(A) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on June 15, 2007 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Parker Hannifin
Corporation, Mobile Climate Systems Division, Booneville,
Mississippi. Workers at the subject firm produce air conditioning
components, specifically automotive/residential air conditioning
accumulators and dryers.
Employment, sales, and production at the subject firm declined
in January through May 2007 compared with the same period one year
prior.
The Department of Labor surveyed the subject firm's major
declining customers regarding their purchases of automotive air
conditioning receiver dryers and residential/commercial
accumulators in 2005, 2006, and January through May 2007. The
survey revealed increased imports in 2006 and January through May
2007 compared with the same period one year earlier.
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 residential/commercial
accumulators and automotive air conditioning receiver dryers
produced at Parker Hannifin Corporation, Mobile Climate Systems
Division, Booneville, Mississippi, contributed importantly to the
total or partial separation of workers 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 Parker Hannifin Corporation, Mobile Climate
Systems Division, Booneville, Mississippi, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after June 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 27th day of July 2007
