ESSEX GROUP, INC.
A SUBSIDIARY OF SUPERIOR ESSEX, INC.
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM
AMERICAN SECURITY & INVESTIGATION
VINCENNES, INDIANA

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 March 21, 2008, applicable to workers of
Essex Group, Inc., a subsidiary of Superior Essex, Inc.,
Vincennes, Indiana. The notice was published in the
Federal Register on April 24, 2008 (73 FR 22169).
At the request of the petitioners, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm.
The workers produce copper and aluminum magnet wire.
New information shows that workers leased from
American Security & Investigation were employed on-site at
the Vincennes, Indiana location of Essex Group, Inc., a
subsidiary of Superior Essex, Inc.
The Department has determined that these workers
were sufficiently under the control and in support of the
subject firm to be considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending
this certification to include workers leased from American
Security & Investigation working on-site at the Vincennes,
Indiana location of Essex Group, Inc., a subsidiary of
Superior Essex, Inc.


The amended notice applicable to TA-W-62,994 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Essex Group, Inc., a subsidiary of
Superior Essex, Inc., Vincennes, Indiana, including
on-site leased workers from American Security &
Investigation, Vincennes, Indiana who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after
March 4, 2007 through March 21, 2010, 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.”

ESSEX GROUP, INC.
A SUBSIDIARY OF SUPERIOR ESSEX, INC.
VINCENNES, INDIANA

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, as amended (19 USC 2273), the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an 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 March 12, 2008 in
response to a petition filed jointly by a company official
and the United Steel Workers, Local 7-509, on behalf of
workers of Essex Group, Inc., a subsidiary of Superior
Essex, Inc., Vincennes, Indiana. Workers produce copper and
aluminum magnet wire. Workers are not separately
identifiable by product.
The investigation revealed that employment at the
Vincennes facility declined from 2006 to 2007 and in
January through February 2008 compared with the same period
in 2007.
The subject firm is shifting a portion of copper and
aluminum magnet wire production at Vincennes to Mexico, a
country that is party to a free trade agreement with the
United States.
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 there was a shift in
production from the workers firm or subdivision to Mexico
of articles that are like or directly competitive with
those produced by the subject firm or subdivision. In
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
"All workers of Essex Group, Inc., a subsidiary of
Superior Essex, Inc., Vincennes, Indiana, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or
after March 4, 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.”
