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 August 24, 2016 by the State Workforce Office on
behalf of workers of Modine Manufacturing Company, Jefferson
City, Missouri (Modine Manufacturing Company). The workers'
firm is engaged in activities related to the production of
thermal management systems and components for heating and
cooling technology, such as radiators.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm, the subject firm's major
declining customers, the U.S. International Trade Commission,
and the U.S. Department of Commerce.
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 thermal management systems and components
for heating and cooling technology by Modine Manufacturing
Company have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with the article
produced by Modine Manufacturing Company have increased during
the twelve month period prior to the petition date.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased imports contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales/production declines at Modine
Manufacturing Company.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Modine Manufacturing
Company, Jefferson City, Missouri, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of thermal management
systems and components for heating and cooling technology, 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 Modine Manufacturing Company, Jefferson
City, Missouri, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after January 1, 2014, 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 20th day of March 2016.
