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 24, 2008, in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of
Minco Manufacturing, LLC, Fuser Roller Division, Colorado Springs,
Colorado. The workers produce fuser rollers for printers and
cartridges.
The investigation revealed that employment at the Colorado
Springs facility declined in 2007 compared with 2006, and continued
to decline in January through May 2008.
The subject firm started to shift what will be a major portion
of its production at the Colorado Springs facility to Mexico and
China in early 2008. The articles that will be produced abroad are
destined for sale in the U.S. market.
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 and China of
articles that are like or directly competitive with those produced
by the subject firm or subdivision, and there has been or is likely
to be an increase in imports of like or directly competitive
articles. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:


"All workers of Minco Manufacturing, LLC, Fuser Roller
Division, including workers whose wages were reported under
Minco Manufacturing, Inc., and including on-site leased
workers from Aerotek and SOS Staffing, Colorado Springs,
Colorado, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after June 20, 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
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 9th day of July 2008
