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 services used
in the production of 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 July 8, 2009 on behalf of workers of Motion Control
Industries, Inc., a subsidiary of Carlisle Companies, Inc.,
South Hill, Virginia (TA-W-71,595) and Charlottesville,
Virginia (TA-W-71,595A). The workers produce brake shoes and
friction pads for brake assemblies. The worker group includes
on-site leased workers from St. Louis Staffing.
The investigation revealed that workers of Motion Control
Industries, Inc. who are engaged in employment related to
production of brake shoes and friction pads for brake
assemblies meet the criteria as Suppliers for secondary worker
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers were separated over the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because Motion Control
Industries, Inc. produced and sold brake shoes and friction
pads for brake assemblies directly to firms that employed
worker group who are covered by active certifications to be
incorporated into heavy duty trucks.
Criterion III has been met because the brake shoes and
friction pads for brake assemblies sold to the firms with TAA-
certified worker groups accounted for at least 20 percent of
the production or sales of Motion Control Industries, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Motion Control
Industries, Inc., a subsidiary of Carlisle Companies, Inc.,
South Hill, Virginia (TA-W-71,595) and Charlottesville,
Virginia (TA-W-71,595A), who are engaged in employment related
to production of brake shoes and friction pads for brake
assemblies, meet the worker group certification criteria under
Section 222(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c). In accordance
with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the
following certification:



"All workers of Motion Control Industries, Inc., a
subsidiary of Carlisle Companies, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from St. Louis Staffing, South Hill,
Virginia (TA-W-71,595) and Motion Control Industries,
Inc., a subsidiary of Carlisle Companies, Inc., including
on-site leased workers from St. Louis Staffing,
Charlottesville, Virginia (TA-W-71,595A), who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
June 29, 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 18th day of May, 2010
