Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply For Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility To Apply For
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 September 11, 2008 in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of
Edinboro Molding, Inc., Edinboro, Pennsylvania. The workers produce
injection molded plastic components.
The investigation revealed that Edinboro Molding, Inc., supplied
component parts of electronic connectors and injection molded
magnets, and more than 20 percent of its business was with
manufacturers of such products whose workers were certified eligible
to apply for adjustment assistance.
In addition, 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.
The group eligibility criteria for the ATAA program

that the Department must consider under Section 246 of the

Trade Act are:

1. Whether a significant number of workers in the workers'
firm are 50 years of age or older.

2. Whether the workers in the workers' firm possess skills
that are not easily transferable.

3. The competitive conditions within the workers' industry
(i.e., conditions within the industry are adverse).

The Department has determined that criterion number one has not
been met.
The investigation revealed that there was not a significant
number of workers over the age of 50 at the Campbell facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investigation, I
determine that workers of Edinboro Molding, Inc., Edinboro,
Pennsylvania, 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 Edinboro Molding, Inc., Edinboro, Pennsylvania who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after
September 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."
I further determine that the workers are denied eligibility to
apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of
the Trade Act of 1974.
