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 July 28, 2009 on behalf of workers of Trail King
Industries, Inc., a subsidiary of Carlisle Companies, Inc.,
Brookville, Pennsylvania (Trail King Industries, Inc., a
subsidiary of Carlisle Companies, Inc.). Workers at the subject
firm are engaged in activities related to the production of
truck trailers. The workers are not separately identifiable by
product.
The investigation further revealed that workers of Trail
King Industries, Inc., a subsidiary of Carlisle Companies,
Inc., Brookville, Pennsylvania who are engaged in employment
related to the production of truck trailers meet the criteria
for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm have
become totally or partially separated during the relevant
period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of truck trailers by the subject firm
decreased during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with truck trailers
produced by Trail King Industries, Inc., a subsidiary of
Carlisle Companies have increased. Specifically, the Department
of Labor conducted a survey of the subject firm's major
declining customer regarding their purchases of truck trailers
during the relevant period. The survey revealed increased
customer reliance on imported truck trailers.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased imports of truck trailers by customers of Trail
King Industries, Inc., a subsidiary of Carlisle Companies
contributed importantly to the worker group separations and
sales/production declines at Trail King Industries, Inc., a
subsidiary of Carlisle Companies.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Trail King
Industries, Inc., a subsidiary of Carlisle Companies,
Brookville, Pennsylvania who are engaged in activities related
to the production of truck trailers 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 Trail King Industries, Inc., a subsidiary
of Carlisle Companies, Brookville, Pennsylvania, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after July 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 15th day of January 2010
