Determinations 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. The group
eligibility requirements for directly-impacted (primary) workers
under Section 222(a) the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, can be
satisfied in either of two ways:
I. Section (a)(2)(A) all of the following must be satisfied:
A. a significant number or proportion of the workers in
such workers' firm, or an appropriate subdivision of the
firm, have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated;
B. the sales or production, or both, of such firm or
subdivision have decreased absolutely; and
C. increased imports of articles like or directly
competitive with articles produced by such firm or
subdivision have contributed importantly to such
workers' separation or threat of separation and to the
decline in sales or production of such firm or
subdivision; or

II. Section (a)(2)(B) both of the following must be satisfied:

A. a significant number or proportion of the workers in
such
workers' firm, or an appropriate subdivision of the
firm, have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially
separated;
B. there has been a shift in production by such workers'
firm or subdivision to a foreign country of articles
like or directly competitive with articles which are
produced by such firm or subdivision; and

C. One of the following must be satisfied:
1. the country to which the workers' firm has shifted
production of the articles is a party to a free
trade agreement with the United States;
2. the country to which the workers' firm has shifted
production of the articles is a beneficiary country
under the Andean Trade Preference Act, African
Growth and Opportunity Act, or the Caribbean Basin
Economic Recovery Act; or
3. there has been or is likely to be an increase in
imports of articles that are like or directly
competitive with articles which are or were produced
by such firm or subdivision.

The investigation was initiated on July 25, 2007 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers at two divisions of Remy Reman LLC: Taylorsville
Division, Taylorsville, Mississippi (TA-W-61,879), and Raleigh
Division, Raleigh, Mississippi (TA-W-61,879A). The workers at
the Taylorsville Division produced remanufactured heavy duty
starters and alternators and are not separately identifiable by
product. The workers at the Raleigh Division produce
remanufactured heavy duty starters.
With respect to workers at Remy Reman LLC, Taylorsville
Division, Taylorsville, Mississippi (TA-W-61,879), it is
determined that the requirements of (a)(2)(A) are met.
The Taylorsville Division worker group includes on-site
leased workers from Manpower, InStaff Personnel, and Robinson
Enterprise.
The investigation revealed that sales, production and
employment at the division declined between 2005 and 2006, and
in January through June 2007 when compared with the same period
in 2006.
During the relevant period, the subject firm increased
reliance on imports of articles like or directly competitive
with remanufactured heavy duty alternators.
With respect to workers at Remy Reman LLC, Raleigh
Division, Raleigh, Mississippi (TA-W-61,879A), it is determined
that criteria (a)(2)(A)(I.C) and (a)(2)(B)(II.B) have not been
met.
The division did not shift production of remanufactured
heavy duty starters to a foreign country, nor did it import like
or competitive products in 2005, 2006, or January through June
2007.
The Department of Labor surveyed the subject firm's major
declining customer regarding their purchases of remanufactured
heavy duty starters in the period under investigation. The
survey revealed that the customer had negligible imports.
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 the case of workers of
Remy Reman LLC, Taylorsville Division, Taylorsville, Mississippi
(TA-W-61,879), 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.
In order for the Department to issue a certification of
eligibility to apply for ATAA, the worker group must be
certified eligible to apply for trade adjustment assistance
(TAA). Since the workers of Remy Reman LLC, Raleigh Division,
Raleigh, Mississippi (TA-W-61,879A) are denied eligibility to
apply for TAA, the workers cannot be certified eligible for
ATAA.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increased imports of articles
like or directly competitive with remanufactured heavy duty
alternators produced by Remy Reman LLC, Taylorsville Division,
Taylorsville, Mississippi (TA-W-61,879) 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 Remy Reman LLC, Taylorsville Division,
including on-site leased workers from Manpower, InStaff
Personnel, and Robinson Enterprise, Taylorsville,
Mississippi (TA-W-61,879), who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after July 20, 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;" and


I further determine that all workers of Remy Reman LLC,
Raleigh Division, Raleigh, Mississippi (TA-W-61,879A), are
denied eligibility to apply for trade adjustment assistance
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also denied
eligibility 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 September 2007
