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. (Set forth in 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 February 10, 2011 by a company official on behalf of
workers of RBC Manufacturing Corporation, West Plains Division, a
subsidiary of Regal Beloit Corporation, West Plains, Missouri (RBC
West Plains). The workers are engaged in activities related to the
production of fractional horsepower electric motors.
The worker group, RBC West Plains, was covered by an existing
certification (TA-W-64,834), which expired on January 26, 2011.
The investigation revealed that workers of RBC West Plains,
who are engaged in activities related to production of fractional
horsepower electric motors, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion of
workers in the workers' firm have become totally or partially
separated or are threatened with total or partial separation.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift in production of fractional horsepower electric motors by
RBC West Plains to a foreign country.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in production of
fractional horsepower electric motors by RBC West Plains
contributed importantly to worker group separations at RBC West
Plains.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of RBC Manufacturing
Corporation, West Plains Division, a subsidiary of Regal Beloit
Corporation, West Plains, Missouri, who are engaged in activities
related to production of fractional horsepower electric motors,
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 RBC Manufacturing Corporation, West Plains
Division, a subsidiary of Regal Beloit Corporation, West
Plains, Missouri, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after January 27, 2011, 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."
