INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM
CBS PERSONNEL SERVICES AND
EMS (ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS, INC.)
SCOTTSBURG, INDIANA

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
of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on November 20, 2008,
applicable to workers of Hysung (America), Inc., American Steel
Cord, including on-site leased workers from CBS Personnel
Services, Scottsburg, Indiana. The notice was published in the
Federal Register on December 10, 2008 (73 FR 75135).
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 steel tire cords.
New information shows that workers leased from EMS
(Environmental Management Solutions, Inc.) were employed on-site
at the Scottsburg, Indiana location of Hyosung (America), Inc.
The Department has determined that these workers were
sufficiently under the control of Hyosung (America), Inc. to be
considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from EMS (Environmental
Management Solutions, Inc.) working on-site at the Scottsburg,
Indiana location of the subject firm.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers employed at Hyosung (America), Inc., Scottsburg,
Indiana who were adversely affected by increased imports
following a shift in production of steel tire cords to China and
South Korea.


The amended notice applicable to TA-W-64,342 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Hyosung (America), Inc., American Steel
Cord, including on-site leased workers of CBS Personnel
Services and EMS (Environmental Management Solutions,
Inc.), Scottsburg, Indiana, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after
November 3, 2007 through November 20, 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.”
Signed at Washington, D.C. this 14th day of January 2009.

HYOSUNG (AMERCIA), INC.

INCLUDING LEASED WORKERS OF CBS PERSONNEL SERVICES
SCOTTSBURGH, 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, 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 in response to a petition
received on November 4, 2008, and filed by a company official on
behalf of workers at Hyosung (America), Inc., American Steel Cord,
Scottsburg, Indiana. The workers produced steel tire cords.
The investigation revealed that the declines in employment at
the subject firm are related to the subject firm shifting its
production of steel tire cord abroad and subsequently importing
that product into 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 there was a shift in production
from the workers’ firm or subdivision to China and South Korea 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 Hyosung (America), Inc., American Steel Cord,
including leased workers of CBS Personnel Services,
Scottsburg, Indiana, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after November 3, 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.”
