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 June 1, 2009 on behalf of workers of Standby Screw
Machine Products Company, Berea, Ohio (Standby Screw Machine).
The workers produce precision screw machine parts for various
equipment and automotive industry and are not separately
identifiable by product line. The worker group includes on-site
leased workers of The Reserves Network.
The investigation revealed that workers of Standby Screw
Machine, who are engaged in employment related to the production
of precision screw machine parts, meet the criteria for
certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
proportion or number of workers at Standby Screw Machine have
been totally or partially separated, or threatened with such
separation, during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with the precision screw
machine parts by Standby Screw Machine increased during the
relevant period. Specifically, customer imports increased
during the surveyed period.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased customer imports of precision screw machine
parts contributed importantly to the worker group separations
and sales/production declines at the Berea, Ohio facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Standby Screw Machine
Products Company, Berea, Ohio, who are engaged in employment
related to the production of precision screw machine parts,
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 Standby Screw Machine Products Company,
including on-site leased workers of The Reserves Network,
Berea, Ohio, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after May 28, 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."
