Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 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 workers of a Firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on May 19, 2009, by a company official on behalf of
workers of TitanX Engine Cooling, Jamestown, New York. The
workers produce engine cooling modules. The worker group
includes on-site leased workers from two agencies: Adecco
Engineering & Technical and Kelly Services.
The same worker group was certified under TA-W-61,296,
which expired on May 4, 2009.
The investigation revealed that workers of TitanX Engine
Cooling who are engaged in employment related to the production
of engine cooling modules meet the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because at least five
percent of workers were totally or partially separated during
the relevant period, or are threatened with separation.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with the engine cooling
modules produced by TitanX Engine Cooling have increased
during the relevant period.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased imports of engine cooling modules by major
declining customers of TitanX Engine Cooling contributed
importantly to the worker group separations and
sales/production declines at TitanX Engine Cooling.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of TitanX Engine
Cooling, including on-site leased workers from Adecco
Engineering & Technical and Kelly Services, Jamestown, New York
who are engaged in employment related to the production of
engine cooling modules meet the worker group certification
criteria under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a).
In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I
make the following certification:
"All workers of TitanX Engine Cooling, including on-site
leased workers of Adecco Engineering & Technical and Kelly
Services, Jamestown, New York, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after May 5,
2009, through two years from the date of certification, and
all workers in the group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on the date of certification
through two years from the date of certification, are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Chapter 2
of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 26th day of October, 2009
