importantly to subject facility sales
and/or production declines and worker
separations. A second negative
determination on remand was issued on
June 12, 2008.
During the third remand
investigation, the Department carefully
reviewed the language of the statute, the
applicable regulation, and the
administrative record.
As a result of the review, the
Department determined that, during the
relevant period, a significant portion or
number of workers at the subject facility
was separated and there was a shift of
production of mining machinery
components to Mexico. Therefore, the
Department determines that the group
eligibility requirements under Section
222(a)(2)(B) the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended, has been met.
In accordance with Section 246 the
Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as
amended, the Department herein
presents the results of its investigation
regarding certification of eligibility to
apply for ATAA.
The Department has determined in
this case that the group eligibility
requirements of Section 246 have been
met.
A significant number of workers at the
firm are age 50 or over and possess
skills that are not easily transferable.
Competitive conditions within the
industry are adverse.
Conclusion
erowe on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
After careful review of the facts
generated through the first and second
remand investigations, I determine that
a shift of production to Mexico of
articles like or directly competitive to
mining machinery components
produced at the subject facility
contributed to the total or partial
separation of a significant number or
proportion of workers at the subject
facility.
In accordance with the provisions of
the Act, I make the following
certification:
‘‘All workers of Joy Technologies, Inc.,
DBA Joy Mining Machinery, Mt. Vernon
Plant, Mt. Vernon, Illinois (TA–W–57,700),
who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after August 2, 2004,
through two years from the issuance of this
revised determination, are eligible to apply
for Trade Adjustment Assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are
eligible to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance under Section 246 of
the Trade Act of 1974.’’
