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 9 by the United Auto Workers, Local 2414 on
behalf of workers of Engineered Machined Products, Greenfield
Operations Division, Greenfield, Indiana. The workers produce
heavy duty diesel engine components.
The investigation revealed that workers of Engineered
Machined Products who are engaged in employment related to
production of heavy duty diesel engine components meet the
criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
proportion of the workers have become separated from
employment during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and production of heavy duty diesel engine components by
Engineered Machined Products have decreased absolutely during
the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with heavy duty diesel
engine components produced by Engineered Machined Products have
increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased imports by Engineered Machined Products contributed
importantly to the worker group separations and
sales/production declines at the Greenfield, Indiana facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Engineered Machined
Products, Inc., Greenfield Operations Division, Greenfield,
Indiana, who are engaged in employment related to production of
heavy duty diesel engine 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 Engineered Machined Products, Inc.,
Greenfield Operations Division, Greenfield, Indiana, 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."
