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 February 26, 2008 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers of King Systems
Corporation, Plastics Technology Division, Noblesville, Indiana.
The workers produce plastic injection molds, dies and fixtures.
Workers are not separately identifiable by product.
The investigation revealed that employment and sales within
the Plastics Technology Division declined from 2006 to 2007.
The Department of Labor surveyed the subject firm's primary
customers regarding their purchases of plastic injection molds,
dies or fixtures in 2006 and 2007. The survey revealed increased
customer imports.
In addition, 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.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with plastic injection molds, dies and
fixtures produced at King Systems Corporation, Plastics Technology
Division, Noblesville, Indiana, 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 King Systems Corporation, Plastics Technology
Division, Noblesville, Indiana, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after February 21,
2007 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 23rd day of May 2008
