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 October 12, 2007 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Delphi Corporation, Electronics & Safety Division, Oak
Creek, Wisconsin. The workers produce electronic engine
controllers and body controllers for the automobile industry. The
workers are not separately identifiable by article within their
division.
The subject worker group is separately identifiable from
workers in the Powertrain Division at the same location. The
Powertrain Division workers are addressed by petition number TA-W-
62,296.
The investigation revealed that sales, production, and
employment at the subject firm declined during the relevant period.
The Department of Labor conducted a survey of the subject
firm's major declining customer regarding its purchases of
electronic engine controllers and body controllers in 2005, 2006,
and January through September 2007 over the corresponding 2006
period. The survey revealed increased import purchases 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 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 electronic engine controllers and
body controllers produced by Delphi Corporation, Electronics &
Safety Division, Oak Creek, Wisconsin 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 Delphi Corporation, Electronics & Safety
Division, Oak Creek, Wisconsin, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after October 10,
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 November 2007
