of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on January 15, 2009,
applicable to workers of Cequent Electrical Products, Inc.,
Angolia, Indiana and Cequent Electrical Products, Inc., McAllen,
Texas. The notice was published in the Federal Register on

At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed

supporting Cequent Electrical Products, Inc., Tekonsha, Michigan,
a currently TAA-certified worker group.
Information also shows that following a corporate decision,
Cequent Electrical Products, Inc. is currently known as Cequent

Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification to
show that Cequent Electrical Products, Inc. is currently known as

The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by
increased imports of brake controls, breakaway kits and lights
produced at the Tekonsha, Michigan location of the subject firm.

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)(A) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on December 31, 2008 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Cequent Electrical Products, Inc., Angola, Indiana (TA-
W-64,801) and Cequent Electrical Products, Inc., McAllen, Texas
(TA-W-64,801A). Workers at the subject firms were engaged in
activities related to warehousing and distribution.
The investigation revealed that employment declined at the
subject firm during the relevant period.
The investigation further revealed that workers at the subject
firm were engaged in activities in support of an affiliated trade
certified firm, Cequent Electrical Products, Inc., Tekonsha,
Michigan (TA-W-63,880). Those workers were certified eligible to
apply for adjustment assistance based on an increased reliance of
imported brake controls, breakaway kits and lights that contributed
importantly to the lay-offs at that facility. This certification
will expire on November 26, 2010.
The investigation revealed that the decline in employment at
Cequent Electrical Products, Inc., Angola, Indiana (TA-W-64,801)
and Cequent Electrical Products, Inc., McAllen, Texas (TA-W-
64,801A) is directly related to an increased reliance on imported
brake controls, breakaway kits and lights by the affiliated trade
certified firm.
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 increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with brake controls, breakaway kits,
lights produced by Cequent Electrical Products, Inc., contributed
importantly to the total or partial separation of workers and to
the decline in sales or production at the subject firms or
subdivisions.


In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
“All workers of Cequent Electrical Products, Inc., Angola,
Indiana (TA-W-64,801) and Cequent Electrical Products, Inc.,
McAllen, Texas (TA-W-64,801A) who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after December 30, 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 15th day of January 2009
