IMI CORNELIUS EQUIPCO, INC.
REMANUFACTURING DIVISION
MONMOUTH, ILLINOIS

Negative Determination 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.
The investigation was initiated on December 30, 2008 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers at IMI Cornelius Equipco, Inc., Remanufacturing
Division, Monmouth, Illinois. Workers are engaged in the repair
and remanufacturing of fountain dispensing equipment owned by
their major customer. Remanufactured fountain dispensing
equipment was not sold on the open market by the subject firm
but was returned to their major customer.
In order to be considered eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, the
worker group seeking certification (or on whose behalf
certification is being sought) must work for a "firm" or
appropriate subdivision that produces an article domestically,
and there must be a relationship between the workers' work and
the article produced by the workers' firm or appropriate
subdivision. The workers doing repair and remanufacturing at
the Monmouth facility do not support a firm that produces an
article domestically; thus the worker group cannot be considered
import impacted or affected by a shift in production of an
article.
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.
In order for the Department to issue a certification of
eligibility to apply for ATAA, the worker group must be
certified eligible to apply for trade adjustment assistance
(TAA). Since the workers are denied eligibility to apply for
TAA, the workers cannot be certified eligible for ATAA.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that all workers of IMI Cornelius
Equipco, Inc., Remanufacturing Division, Monmouth, Illinois, are
denied eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also denied
eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance
under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.
