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 January 25, 2010, applicable to workers
of Resinoid Engineering Corporation, Hebron, Ohio. The notice
was published in the Federal Register March 5, 2010 (75 FR
10323).
At the request of the State Agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in activities related to the production of custom
molded plastic components.
New findings show that the Heath, Ohio location of Resinoid
also experienced an employment decline during the relevant
period. Workers at the Heath, Ohio facility produce commutators
and are not separately identifiable from the workers at the
Hebron facility. These workers directly support the Hebron,
Ohio facility of the subject firm.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification
to cover workers at the Heath, Ohio location of Resinoid.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of Resinoid who were adversely affected by the loss
in sales to a TAA certified firm.
The amended notice applicable to AT-W-71,175 is hereby
issued as follows:
“All workers of Resinoid Engineering Corporation, Hebron,
Ohio (TA-W-71,175) and Heath, Ohio (TA-W-71,175A) who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after June 4, 2008 through January 25, 2012, 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.”

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(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), can be
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
I. a significant number or proportion of the workers in
the workers’ firm or an appropriate subdivision of the
firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially
separated;
II. the workers’ firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer
to a firm that employed a group of workers who
received a certification of eligibility under Section
222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such
supply or production is related to the article or
service that was the basis for such certification; and
III. either
(A) the workers’ firm is a supplier and the component
parts it supplied to the firm described in paragraph
(2) accounted for at least 20 percent of the
production or sales of the workers’ firm; or
(B) a loss of business by the workers’ firm with the firm
described in paragraph (2) contributed importantly to
the workers’ separation or threat of separation.
Section 222(d) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(d), defines the
term “Supplier” as “a firm that produces and supplies directly
to another firm component parts for articles, or in the supply
of services, as the case may be, that were the basis for a
certification of eligibility under subsection (a) [of Section
222 of the Act] of a group of workers employed by such other
firm.“
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on June 12, 2009 on behalf of the workers of Resinoid
Engineering Corporation, Hebron, Ohio. Workers at the subject
firm are engaged in activities related to the production of
custom molded plastic components. The workers are not
separately identifiable by product.
The investigation revealed that workers of Resinoid
Engineering Corporation, Hebron, Ohio who are engaged in
activities related to the production of custom molded plastic
components meet the criteria as Suppliers for secondary worker
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers in the workers’ firm have become
totally or partially separated.
Criterion II has been satisfied because workers of
Resinoid Engineering Corporation produced and sold custom
molded plastic components to a firm that employed a worker
group who is covered by an active certification to be
incorporated into plastic injection molded parts.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business
by Resinoid Engineering Corporation with the TAA-certified
firm, with respect to custom molded plastic components sold to
the TAA-certified firm, contributed importantly to worker
separations at Resinoid Engineering Corporation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Resinoid Engineering
Corporation, Hebron, Ohio who are engaged in activities related
to the production of custom molded plastic 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 Resinoid Engineering Corporation, Hebron,
Ohio, 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 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.”
