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;
(2)(B)(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
(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; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on May 6, 2013 by a company official on behalf of workers
of RBC Manufacturing Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Regal Beloit Corporation, West Plains Division, West Plains,
Missouri. The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to
the production of fractional horsepower electric motors.
Workers of RBC Manufacturing Corporation, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Regal Beloit Corporation, West Plains Division,
West Plains, Missouri were covered under a previous
certification (TA-W-75,200) for Trade Adjustment Assistance
that expired on February 25, 2013.
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)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has shifted to a foreign country the production of
articles like or directly competitive with the articles
produced by the workers, which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at RBC Manufacturing Corporation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of RBC Manufacturing
Corporation, West Plains Division, West Plains, Missouri, who
are engaged in activities related to the 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, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Regal Beloit Corporation, West Plains
Division, West Plains, Missouri, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after February
26, 2013 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 21st day of May, 2013.
