Messier Services, Inc.; a Subsidiary of
Safran Group; Sterling, VA; Notice of
Revised Determination on
Reconsideration
On November 30, 2005, the
Department of Labor issued a Notice of
Affirmative Determination Regarding
Application for Reconsideration
applicable to the subject firm. The
Notice will soon be published in the
Federal Register.
During the initial investigation, the
Department found that workers are
engaged in the repair and overhaul of
landing gear and hydraulics
components and the predominant cause
of worker separations is the shift of
landing gear and hydraulics repair
services to an affiliated facility in
Mexico.
During the reconsideration
investigation, it was found that bushings
were manufactured at the Sterling,
Virginia, facility during the relevant
period. The investigation also revealed
that the subject company is shifting half
of the Sterling, Virginia, production to
Europe and will shift the remaining half
to Mexico in 2006. The investigation
also revealed that the subject company
will send the finished product from
Europe and Mexico to its customers in
the United States.
The investigation also revealed that
all criteria have been met in regard to
alternative trade adjustment assistance.
A significant number or proportion of
the worker group are age fifty years or
over and workers possess skills that are
not easily transferable. Competitive
conditions within the industry are
adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the additional
facts obtained on reconsideration, I
conclude that a shift of production to
Europe and Mexico followed by
increased imports of bushings
contributed importantly to worker
separations at the subject firm.
In accordance with the provisions of
the Act, I make the following
certification:
PO 00000
Frm 00053
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
All workers of Messier Services, Inc., A
Subsidiary of the Safran Group, Sterling,
Virginia, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after
October 31, 2003, through two years from the
date of this certification, are eligible to apply
for adjustment assistance under Section 223
of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also eligible
to apply for alternative trade adjustment
assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act
of 1974.
Signed in Washington, DC, this 27th day of
December 2005.
