Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) as amended by the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act
of 1988 (P. L. 100-418), the Department of Labor herein presents
the results of an investigation regarding certification of eligi-
bility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance
each of the group eligibility requirements of Section 222 of the
Act must be met. It is determined that all of the requirements
have been met.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on September 18, 2000, and filed by the United Auto
Workers' Union on behalf of former workers at Delco Remy America,
Anderson, Indiana. The workers produce sub-assemblies for
armatures and starters in automotive applications.
The investigation revealed that production and employment at
the subject plant declined during the relevant period. The subject
firm inaugurated a reliance on imported sub-assemblies in 2000 and
that has become a major source for the company.



Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investi-
gation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles like or
directly competitive with sub-assemblies for armatures and starters
in automotive applications produced at Delco Remy America,
Anderson, Indiana, contributed importantly to the decline in sales
or production and to the total or partial separation of workers of
that firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make
the following certification:
"All workers of Delco Remy America, Anderson, Indiana, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after September 6, 1999, through two years from the date of
certification are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."

Signed in Washington, D. C. this 16th day of October 2000.
