MAHLE INDUSTRIES, INC.
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS OF
MANPOWER, INC.
HOLLAND, MICHIGAN

Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and a Negative
Determination Regarding 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 a
Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on November 27, 2007,
applicable to workers of Mahle Industries, Inc., Holland,
Michigan. The notice was published in the Federal Register on
December 11, 2007 (72 FR 70345).
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 automotive engine components for
turbochargers.
The review of the investigation record shows that the
Department inadvertently excluded from the certification on-site
leased workers from Manpower, Inc.

Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification
to include on-site leased workers from Manpower, Inc. The
workers of Manpower, Inc. at the Holland, Michigan site are
sufficiently under the control of Mahle Industries, Inc. to be
considered leased workers.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-62,373 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Mahle Industries, Inc., including
on-site leased workers of Manpower, Inc.,
Holland, Michigan, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after October 24, 2006,
through November 27, 2009, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade
Act of 1974” and
I further determine that all workers of Mahle
Industries, Inc., including on-site leased workers of
Manpower, Inc., Holland, Michigan are denied eligibility to
apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under
Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.

Signed at Washington, D.C. this 14th day of March 2008

TA-W-62,373

MAHLE INDUSTRIES, INC.
HOLLAND, MICHIGAN

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and a Negative
Determination Regarding Eligibility To Apply
For 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 October 29, 2007, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers at Mahle Industries, Inc., Holland, Michigan. The workers
at the subject firm produce automotive engine components for
turbochargers.
The preponderance in the declines in employment and ultimate
closure at the subject firm is related to a shift in plant
production of automotive engine components for turbochargers to
Germany and Brazil. There is likely to be an increase in imports
of like or directly competitive articles following the shifts in
production abroad.
In addition, in accordance with Section 246 of 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.
The group eligibility criteria for the ATAA program that the
Department must consider under section 246 of the Trade Act are:
1. Whether significant number of workers in the workers’
firm are 50 years of age or older.

2. Whether the workers in the workers’ firm possess
skills that are not easily transferable.

3. The competitive conditions within the workers’
industry (i.e., conditions within the industry are
adverse)

The Department has determined that criterion 2 has not been
met.
The workers possess skills that are easily transferable to
other positions within the local commuting area.






Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that there was a shift in production from
a firm or subdivision supported by the petitioning worker group to
Germany and Brazil of articles that are like or directly
competitive with those produced by the subject firm or subdivision,
and there has been or is likely to be an increase in imports of
like or directly competitive articles. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Mahle Industries, Inc., Holland, Michigan, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after October 24, 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



I further determine that all workers of Mahle Industries,
Inc., Holland, Michigan, are denied eligibility 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.
