WINDSOR, CONNECTICUT
Amended 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 issued
a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance on August 17, 2009, applicable to workers of Stanadyne
Corporation, including on-site leased workers for Infini-Staff
and Staffing Now, Windsor, Connecticut. The notice was
published in the Federal Register on September 22, 2009 (74 FR
48301).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in the production of diesel engine fuel system
components including fuel pumps, fuel injectors, and precision
custom manufactured parts.
New information shows that workers leased from Apollo
Professional Solutions were employed on-site at the Windsor,
Connecticut location of Stanadyne Corporation. The Department
has determined that these workers were sufficiently under the
control of the subject firm to be considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from Apollo Professional
Solutions working on-site at the Windsor, Connecticut location of
the subject firm.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-71,056 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Stanadyne Corporation, including on-
site leased workers from Infini-Staff, Staffing Now and
Apollo Professional Solutions, Inc., Windsor,
Connecticut, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after June 4, 2008, through
August 17, 2011, 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 at Washington, D.C. this 13th day of July 2010.

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:
I. The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(1)) requires that a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers’ firm must
have become totally or partially separated or be threatened
with total or partial separation.
II. The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied if either:
(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers’ firm to a
foreign country in the production of articles or supply
of services like or directly competitive with those
produced/supplied by the workers’ firm; OR
(i)(II) there has been an acquisition from a foreign country
by the workers’ firm of articles/services that are like
or directly competitive with those produced/supplied by
the workers’ firm.
III. The third criterion requires that the shift/acquisition must
have contributed importantly to the workers’ separation or
threat of separation. See Section 222(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)(B)(ii).
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on June 9, 2009 by the Connecticut State Workforce Office
on behalf of workers of Stanadyne Corporation, Windsor,
Connecticut. The workers manufacture diesel engine fuel system
components including fuel pumps, fuel injectors, and precision
custom manufactured parts. The worker group includes on-site
leased workers of Infini-Staff and Staffing Now.
The investigation revealed that workers of Stanadyne
Corporation who are engaged in employment related to the
production of diesel engine fuel system components meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant portion of
the workforce was separated and the firm plans to implement
further workforce reductions over the next 18 months.
Criterion II has been met because the firm has shifted
production abroad of articles like or directly competitive with
the articles manufactured at the Windsor facility.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in production
of diesel engine fuel components to China and India by Stanadyne
Corporation contributed importantly to worker group separations
at Stanadyne Corporation, Windsor, Connecticut.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Stanadyne Corporation
who are engaged in employment related to the manufacture of diesel
engine fuel system components 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 Stanadyne Corporation, Windsor, Connecticut,
including on-site leased workers of Infini-Staff and Staffing
Now, who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after June 4, 2008, through two years from the date of
certification, and all workers in the group threatened with
total or partial separation from employment on 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.”
