NUMBER FOR HLI-WABASH INCORPORATED
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM MANPOWER AND STAFFING
RESOURCES
WABASH, 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 (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 April 10, 2008 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Harvey
Industries, LLC, Wabash, Indiana. The workers produce
automotive parts, in particular intake and exhaust
manifolds.
The investigation revealed that workers' wages of
Harvey Industries, LLC were also reported under FEID number
for HLI-Wabash Incorporated.
The investigation revealed that Harvey Industries LLC
also leased workers from Manpower and Staffing Resources.
The investigation also revealed employment and sales
at the subject facility decreased in January through March
2008, when compared to the same period in 2007.
The Department of Labor surveyed the subject firm's
major declining customers regarding purchases of products
like or directly competitive with intake manifolds and
exhaust manifolds in 2006, 2007 and January through March
2008. 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 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 the intake and
exhaust manifolds produced by Harvey Industries, LLC,
Wabash, 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 Harvey Industries, LLC, Wabash,
Indiana, including workers whose wages are reported
under FEID for HLI-Wabash Incorporated, including on-
site leased workers from Manpower and Staffing
Resources, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after April 9, 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 17th day of June 2008.
