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 December 23, 2009, applicable to workers of Trinity
Tank Car, Inc., Plant #19, Longview, Texas. The notice was
published in the Federal Register on February 16, 2010 (75 FR
7032).
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 tank railcars.
The company official clarified that Trinity Industries, Inc.
is the parent company of the subject firm.
Additional information also revealed that the production of
tank railcars at Plant #19 was vertically integrated with the
production of four other affiliate facilities in Longview, Texas:
Plants #1200, 1017, 1110 and 1194. These other facilities operate
in conjunction with Plant #19 in a vertically integrated
production process and also experienced employment declines
during the relevant period.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to also include workers from Trinity Tank Car,
Inc., a subsidiary of Trinity Industries, Inc., Plants #1200,
1017, 1110 and 1194. The intent of the Department’s
certification is to include all workers employed at Trinity Tank
Car, Inc., who were adversely affected by increased customer
imports of tank railcars.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-72,065 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers Trinity Tank Car, Inc., a subsidiary of
Trinity Industries, Inc., Plants #19, 1200, 1017, 1110
and 1194, Longview, Texas who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after July
21, 2008, through December 23, 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.”

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 August 19, 2009, on behalf of workers of Trinity Tank Car,
Inc., Plant #19, Longview, Texas (subject firm). The workers
produce tank railcars.
The investigation revealed that workers of the subject firm,
who are engaged in employment related to tank railcar production,
meet the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
proportion or number of worker at the subject firm was separated
during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because subject firm
sales and/or production has declined absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with tank railcars produced
by the subject firm have increased. Specifically, a survey
conducted by the Department of Labor among major customers of the
subject firm revealed that, during the relevant period, customers
have increased purchases of imported tank railcars while decreasing
their purchases from the subject firm.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because the
increased imports of tank railcars contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales/production declines at the
subject firm.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Trinity Tank Car, Inc.,
Plant #19, Longview, Texas, who are engaged in employment related
to the production of tank railcars, 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 Trinity Tank Car, Inc., Plant #19, Longview,
Texas, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after July 21, 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.”
