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:
I. The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(1)) requires that a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm
must have become totally or partially separated or be
threatened with total or partial separation.

II. The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied if either:

(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers' firm to a
foreign country in the production of articles or
supply of services like or directly competitive with
those produced/supplied by the workers' firm; OR
(i)(II) there has been an acquisition from a foreign
country by the workers' firm of articles/services that
are like or directly competitive with those
produced/supplied by the workers' firm.

III. The third criterion requires that the shift/acquisition
must have contributed importantly to the workers'
separation or threat of separation. See Section
222(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. §
2272(a)(2)(B)(ii).

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on August 23, 2010, by a company official on behalf of
workers of Annex Manufacturing, LLC, a subsidiary of Annex
Manufacturing, Inc., Lyons, New York (Annex Manufacturing,
LLC). The workers produce thermal expansion valves for the
automotive industry.
The investigation revealed that the workers' wages were
previously reported under the Federal Employee Identification
Number (FEIN) of Parker Hannifin Corp.
The investigation further revealed that the worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Kelly Temporary Services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Annex
Manufacturing, LLC who are engaged in employment related to
the production thermal expansion valves meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant or
proportion of the workers within the worker group was
separated during the period under investigation.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country the production of an article
like or directly competitive with the article produced by the
workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of thermal
expansion valves China by Annex Manufacturing, LLC contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Annex
Manufacturing, LLC.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Annex Manufacturing,
LLC, a subsidiary of Annex Manufacturing, Inc., workers wages
were previously reported under Parker Hannifin Corp.,
including on-site leased workers from Kelly Temporary Services,
Lyons, New York, who are engaged in employment related to the
production thermal expansion valves 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 Annex Manufacturing, LLC, a subsidiary of
Annex Manufacturing, Inc., workers wages were previously
reported under Parker Hannifin Corp., including on-site
leased workers from Kelly Temporary Services, Lyons, New
York, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after August 17, 2009, through two years
from the date of certification, and all workers in the
group threatened with total or partial separation from
employment on 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 16th day of September, 2010.
