DALTILE, INCORPORATED
A SUBSIDIARY OF MOHAWK INDUSTRIES
DTG TILE CORP./DAL-ELIT
DALLAS, TEXAS
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 July 28, 2008,
applicable to workers of Daltile, Incorporated, a subsidiary of
Mohawk Industries, Dallas, Texas. The notice was published in
the Federal Register on August 12, 2008 (73 FR 46922).
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 ceramic tiles.
New information provided to the Department shows that some
of the workers wages at the subject firm are being reported under
the Unemployment Insurance (UI) tax account for DTG Tile
Corp./Dal-Elit LP.
Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification
to properly reflect this matter.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of Daltile, Incorporated, a subsidiary of Mohawk
Industries who were adversely affected by increased imports of
ceramic tiles.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-63,521 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Daltile, Incorporated, a subsidiary of
Mohawk Industries, DTG Tile Corp./Dal-Elit LP, Dallas,
Texas, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after June 10, 2007, through July 28, 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.”

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 June 12, 2008 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Daltile Incorporated, A
subsidiary of Mohawk Industries, Dallas, Texas. The workers produce
ceramic tiles.
The investigation revealed that production and employment at
the subject facility decreased in January through May 2008 compared
to the same period in 2007.
The investigation also revealed the subject firm increased
reliance on imports of ceramic tiles 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 ceramic tiles produced by Daltile
Incorporated, A subsidiary of Mohawk Industries, Dallas, Texas,
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 Daltile Incorporated, A subsidiary of Mohawk
Industries, Dallas, Texas, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 10, 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.”
