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 August 6, 2007, in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of
Eaton Corporation-Truck Components, Aftermarket Division, Gales-
burg, Michigan. The workers produce radar units for trucks.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm is shifting
production of truck radar units from Galesburg, Michigan to a
foreign country and layoffs at the subject plant will occur as a
result of this shift. The subject firm will likely increase its
imports of truck radar units as a result.
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 addition, 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 conclude that there was a shift in production from
the workers' firm or subdivision to France of articles that are
like or directly competitive with truck radar units produced by the
subject firm or subdivision, and there will likely be an increase
in imports of such articles. In accordance with the provisions of
the Act, I make the following certification:



"All workers of Eaton Corporation-Truck Components, After-
market Division, Galesburg, Michigan, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after August 3, 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 21st day of August, 2007
