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 the United Steelworkers of America,
Local 1-592 on behalf of workers of Bayloff Stamped Products,
Kinsman, Ohio. The workers produce metal stampings for the
automotive industry.
The investigation revealed that workers of Bayloff Stamped
Products, Kinsman, Ohio who are engaged in employment related to
metal stampings meet the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because employment
declined at the subject firm from January through April 2009
when compared to the same time period the previous year.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of metal stampings by Bayloff Stamped
Products, Kinsman, Ohio have decreased absolutely during the
relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles or services like or directly competitive with metal
stampings by Bayloff Stamped Products, Kinsman, Ohio have
increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
an increased reliance on imported metal stampings by customers
of Bayloff Stamped Products, Kinsman, Ohio contributed
importantly to the worker group separations and
sales/production declines at Bayloff Stamped Products,
Kinsman, Ohio.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Bayloff Stamped
Products, Kinsman, Ohio, who are engaged in employment related
to metal stampings 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 Bayloff Stamped Products, Kinsman, Ohio,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after May 19, 2008, 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 19th day of August, 2009
