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 October 24, 2011 by the state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Pace American Enterprises, Inc., McGregor, Texas (TA-
W-81,004), Middlebury, Indiana (TA-W-81,004A), Fitzgerald, Georgia
(TA-W-81,004B), Lebanon, Oregon (TA-W-81,004C) and Hurricane, Utah
(TA-W-81,004D). The firm produced cargo trailers and campers.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from LOOK Trailers, Bristol, Indiana, which acquired the
firm in 2011.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because 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.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales and/or
production of cargo trailers and campers by Pace American
Enterprises, Inc. have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because aggregate
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the cargo
trailers and campers produced by Pace American Enterprises, Inc.
have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased aggregate imports contributed importantly to the worker
group separations and sales/production declines at Pace American
Enterprises, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Pace American
Enterprises, Inc., McGregor, Texas (TA-W-81,004), Middlebury,
Indiana (TA-W-81,004A), Fitzgerald, Georgia (TA-W-81,004B),
Lebanon, Oregon (TA-W-81,004C) and Hurricane, Utah (TA-W-81,004D),
who are engaged in activities related to the production of cargo
trailers and campers 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 Pace American Enterprises, Inc., McGregor,
Texas (TA-W-81,004), Pace American Enterprises, Inc.,
Middlebury, Indiana (TA-W-81,004A), Pace American Enterprises,
Inc., Fitzgerald, Georgia (TA-W-81,004B), Pace American
Enterprises, Inc., Lebanon, Oregon (TA-W-81,004C) and Pace
American Enterprises, Inc., Hurricane, Utah (TA-W-81,004D),
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after February 13, 2010, 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.”
