Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on March
25, 2002, applicable to workers of Hayes Lemmerz International,
Inc., Wheels Business Unit, Somerset, Kentucky. The notice was
published in the Federal Register on April 5, 2002 (67 FR 16441).


At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. Information
provided by the State shows that some employees of Hayes Lemmerz
International, Inc., Wheels Business Unit were leased from
Manpower Temporary Services, Job Shop Temporary Services, CBS
Personnel Services, and Technical Staffing Solutions to produce
aluminum wheels for the automobile industry at the Somerset,
Kentucky facility of the subject firm.


Worker separations occurred at these companies as a result
of worker separations a Hayes Lemmerz International, Inc., Wheels
Business Unit, Somerset, Kentucky.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending the
certification to include leased workers producing aluminum wheels
at the Somerset, Kentucky location of the subject firm.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include
all workers of Hayes Lemmerz International, Inc., Wheels Business
Unit adversely affected by increased imports.


The amended notice applicable to TA-W-40,853 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Hayes Lemmerz International, Inc.,
Wheels Business Unit, Somerset Kentucky, and leased
workers of Manpower Temporary Services, Job Shop
Temporary Services, Somerset, Kentucky, CBS Personnel
Services, Cincinnati, Ohio and Technical Staffing
Solutions, London, Kentucky, engaged in employment
related to the production of aluminum wheels for the
automobile industry for Hayes Lemmerz International,
Inc., Wheels Business Unit, Somerset, Kentucky who
became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after November 26, 2000, through March 25, 2004,
are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."

Signed at Washington, D.C. this 25th day of July, 2002.

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
eligibility 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 in response to a petition
received on February 25, 2002, and filed on behalf of workers at
Hayes Lemmerz International, Inc., Wheels Business Unit, Somerset
Kentucky. The workers produce aluminum wheels for the automobile
industry.


The investigation revealed that sales, production, and
employment declined from 2000 to 2001.
The investigation further revealed that company imports of
aluminum wheels increased absolutely from 2000 to 2001.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with aluminum wheels for the
automobile industry produced by Hayes Lemmerz International, Inc.,
Wheels Business Unit, Somerset Kentucky, 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 Hayes Lemmerz International, Inc., Wheels
Business Unit, Somerset Kentucky, engaged in employment
related to the production of aluminum wheels for the
automobile industry, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after November 26, 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 at Washington, D.C., this 25th day of March, 2002.
