MILAN, OHIO
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
Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on June 24, 2008,
applicable to workers of Tenneco, Inc., Clevite-Pullman Division,
Milan, Ohio. The Department’s Notice of determination was
published in the Federal Register on July 15, 2008 (73 FR 40618).
At the request of a company official, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm.
Subject firm workers produce elastomer bushings.
New information shows that workers leased from Elite
Staffing and Time Services were working on-site at the Milan,
Ohio location of the subject firm. The Department has determined
that these workers were sufficiently under the control of the
subject firm to be considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include leased workers of Elite Staffing and
Time Services working on-site at the Milan, Ohio location of the
subject firm.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by a
shift of production to a foreign country that is party to a free
trade agreement with the United States.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-63,490 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Tenneco, Inc., Clevite-Pullman Division,
including on-site leased workers from Elite Staffing and
Time Services, Milan, Ohio, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 24, 2007, through
June 24, 2010, are eligible to apply for adjustment assis-
tance 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.”

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 June 5, 2008, in response
to a petition filed by the United Automobile, Aerospace and
Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW), and a company
official on behalf of workers at Tenneco, Inc., Milan, Ohio. The
workers produce elastomer bushings.
The investigation revealed that employment declined during the
relevant period.
The subject firm shifted production of elastomer bushings to
Mexico, a country that is party to a free trade agreement with the
United States.
In addition, 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 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 Tenneco, Inc., Clevite-Pullman Division,
Milan, Ohio, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after June 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
