TRELLEBORG YSH INCORPORATED
A SUBSIDIARY OF TRELLEBORG AB
PERU, INDIANA

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)(B) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on September 18, 2008 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Trelleborg YSH Incorporated, a subsidiary of Trelleborg
AB, Peru, Indiana. The workers produce automotive anti-vibration
control components, in particular bushings, ECAS (electronic
controlled air suspension) assembly and engine/transmission mounts.
The workers are not separately identifiable by product produced.
The investigation revealed that the preponderance of declines
in employment at the subject facility is related to a shift in
production of automotive anti-vibration control components to a
country (Mexico) that is party to a free trade agreement with the
United States.
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 was a shift in production from the
workers' firm or subdivision to Mexico of articles like or directly
competitive with automotive anti-vibration control components
produced by Trelleborg YSH Incorporated, a subsidiary of Trelleborg
AB, Peru, Indiana. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I
make the following certification:
"Workers of Trelleborg YSH Incorporated, a subsidiary of
Trelleborg AB, Peru, Indiana, who become totally or partially
separated from employment on or after September 17, 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 7th day of October 2008
