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 an investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance as a secondarily affected
worker group.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility for secondary workers to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance, the group eligibility requirements of
paragraph (b) of Section 222 of the Trade Act, as amended, must be
met. It is determined in this case that the requirements of (b) of
Section 222, as amended, have been met.
The investigation was initiated on July 3, 2008, in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of
Enercon, Gray, Maine (TA-W-63,642) and Enercon, Auburn, Maine (TA-
W-63,642A). These facilities are vertically integrated. The
workers of Enercon, Gray, Maine produce electronic component parts
for dialysis machines. The workers of Enercon, Auburn, Maine
assemble dialysis machines.
The investigation revealed that Enercon, Gray, Maine and
Enercon, Auburn, Maine supply component parts for electronic
dialysis equipment and disposables, and at least 20 percent of
their production or sales is supplied to a manufacturer whose
workers were certified eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance.
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 workers of Enercon, Gray, Maine,
including leased workers of Bonney Staffing Center and Kelley
Services, Inc.; and Enercon, Auburn, Maine, including leased
workers of Bonney Staffing Center and Kelley Services, Inc.,
qualify as adversely affected secondary workers under Section 222
of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Enercon, including leased workers of Bonney
Staffing Center and Kelley Services, Inc., Gray, Maine; and
Enercon, including leased workers of Bonney Staffing Center
and Kelley Services, Inc., Auburn, Maine, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after July 1,
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 1st day of August 2008
