Findings of the Investigation
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

TA-W-40,384
K S BEARINGS INC.
GREENSBURG, INDIANA
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 in this case that all of the
requirements have been met.
The investigation was initiated on December 3, 2001, and
filed on behalf of workers at K S Bearings Inc., Greensburg,
Indiana. The workers produced bushings, bearings and washers for
automotive, tractor and diesel engine applications.
Sales, production and employment declined in 2001 compared
with 2000.
K S Bearings has discontinued the production of some items
at the Greensburg facility and increased company imports. These
imports into the United States have contributed to separations at
the subject plant during the relevant periods.
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 machines produced at K S Bearings Inc.,
Greensburg, Indiana, contributed importantly to the decline in
sales or production and to the total or partial separation of
workers of the subject firm. In accordance with the provisions
of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of K S Bearings, Inc., Greensburg, Indiana who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after November 16, 2000, 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 4th day of March 2002.
