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 September 13, 2010, by three workers on behalf of
workers of Burgess-Norton Manufacturing Company, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from SelectRemedy and
Manpower, Claremore, Oklahoma (Burgess-Norton). The workers
produce piston pins.
The investigation revealed that workers of Burgess-Norton
who are engaged in employment activities related to production
of piston pins meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of workers were separated during the relevant period.
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 piston
pins to Mexico by Burgess-Norton contributed importantly to
worker group separations at the subject firm.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Burgess-Norton
Manufacturing Company, Inc., including on-site leased workers
from SelectRemedy and Manpower, Claremore, Oklahoma, who are
engaged in employment activities related to the production of
piston pins 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 Burgess-Norton Manufacturing Company,
Inc., including on-site leased workers from SelectRemedy
and Manpower, Claremore, Oklahoma, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after September
10, 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 30th day of September, 2010.
