Negative Determinations 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 group eligibility
requirements for directly-impacted (primary) workers under Section
222(a) the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, can be satisfied in either of
two ways:
I. Section (a)(2)(A) all of the following must be satisfied:
A. a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm, or an appropriate subdivision of the firm, have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to
become totally or partially separated;
B. the sales or production, or both, of such firm or subdivision
have decreased absolutely; and
C. increased imports of articles like or directly competitive
with articles produced by such firm or subdivision have
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or threat
of separation and to the decline in sales or production of
such firm or subdivision; or

II. Section (a)(2)(B) both of the following must be satisfied:

A. a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm, or an appropriate subdivision of the firm,
have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated;



B. there has been a shift in production by such workers' firm or
subdivision to a foreign country of articles like or
directly competitive with articles which are produced by such
firm or subdivision; and

C. One of the following must be satisfied:
1. the country to which the workers' firm has shifted
production of the articles is a party to a free trade
agreement with the United States;
2. the country to which the workers' firm has shifted
production of the articles is a beneficiary country under
the Andean Trade Preference Act, African Growth and
Opportunity Act, or the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery
Act; or
3. there has been or is likely to be an increase in imports
of articles that are like or directly competitive with
articles which are or were produced by such firm or
subdivision.

The investigation was initiated on February 24, 2009 in response
to a petition filed by a California State Workforce Office on behalf of
workers at MVP RV, Inc., Moreno Valley, California. The workers
produce campers.
The investigation revealed that criteria (a)(2)(A)(I.C) and
(a)(2)(B)(II.B) have not been met.
The subject firm did not import campers, nor did it shift
production abroad in 2007, 2008 or January of 2009.
The Department of Labor conducted a survey of the subject firm's
major declining customers regarding their purchases of campers in 2007
and 2008 and January 2008/2009. The survey revealed that customers did
not import campers in the above periods.
United States aggregate imports of campers declined sharply from
2007 to 2008.
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 MVP RV, Inc., Moreno Valley, California,
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.
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 23rd day of April 2009
