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 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 February 10, 2009 in
response to a petition filed by a one-stop operator on behalf of
workers of Spartan Light Metal Products, Inc., Sparta, Illinois.
The workers produce die cast parts for automotive and commercial
drive train applications.
The investigation revealed that employment at the subject
firm has declined.
The investigation revealed that Spartan Light Metal
Products, Inc., Sparta, Illinois, supplies component parts for
automotive vehicles and a loss of business with a manufacturer
of automotive vehicles whose workers were certified eligible to
apply for adjustment assistance contributed importantly to the
separation or threat of separation of workers at Spartan Light
Metal Products, Inc., Sparta, Illinois.
In addition, in accordance with Section 246 of 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 workers of Spartan Light Metal
Products, Inc., Sparta, Illinois, 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 Spartan Light Metal Products, Inc., Sparta,
Illinois, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 9, 2008 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.”
