SUNRISE MEDICAL, INCORPORATED
DEVILBISS HEALTHCARE
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS OF KELLY SERVICES
SOMERSET, PENNSYLVANIA

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 October 10, 2007,
applicable to workers of Sunrise Medical, Incorporated, Devilbiss
Healthcare, Somerset, Pennsylvania. The notice will be published
soon in the Federal Register.
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in the production of respiratory care products, such
as compressor nebulizers, oxygen concentrators and aspirators.
The review of the investigation record shows that the
Department inadvertently excluded from the certification on-site
leased workers from Kelly Services. Accordingly, the Department
is amending this certification to include on-site leased workers
from Kelly Services.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-62,053 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Sunrise Medical, Incorporated,
Devilbiss Healthcare, including on-site leased workers
of Kelly Services, Somerset, Pennsylvania, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or
after August 27, 2006, through October 10, 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.”
Signed at Washington, D.C. this 17th day of October 2007

SOMERSET, PENNSYLVANIA

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 August 28, 2007 in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of
Sunrise Medical Incorporated, Devilbiss Healthcare, Somerset,
Pennsylvania. The workers produce respiratory care products, such
as compressor nebulizers, oxygen concentrators, and aspirators.
This investigation revealed that production and employment at
the subject firm decreased in the year-to-date period of January
through August 2007 compared to that of 2006.
The investigation also revealed the subject firm increased
imports of respiratory care products during the relevant period.
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 increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with respiratory care products
produced by Sunrise Medical Incorporated, Devilbiss Healthcare,
Somerset, Pennsylvania, 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 Sunrise Medical Incorporated, Devilbiss
Healthcare, Somerset, Pennsylvania, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after August 27,
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.”
