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 February 28, 2012 by a State Workforce Office on behalf
of workers of Emhart Teknologies, Emhart - Parker Kalon Plant, a
Stanley Black & Decker Company, Campbellsville, Kentucky. The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to production of
specialty threaded fasteners.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the United States
International Trade Commission.
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 specialty threaded fasteners by the firm
have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because aggregate
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
specialty threaded fasteners produced by the firm have increased
during the relevant period.
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 the subject
firm.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Emhart Teknologies,
Emhart - Parker Kalon Plant, a Stanley Black & Decker Company,
Campbellsville, Kentucky, who are engaged in activities related to
the production of specialty threaded fasteners, 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 Emhart Teknologies, Emhart - Parker Kalon
Plant, a Stanley Black & Decker Company, Campbellsville,
Kentucky, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 7th day of March, 2012.
