Negative Determination 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:
(1) that a significant number or proportion of the workers
in the workers' firm, or an appropriate subdivision
thereof, have become totally or partially separated,
or are threatened to become totally or partially
separated;

(2) that sales or production, or both, of the firm or sub-
division have decreased absolutely; and

(3) that increases of imports of articles like or directly
competitive with articles produced by the firm or ap-
propriate subdivision have contributed importantly to
the separations, or threat thereof, and to the
absolute decline in sales or production.

The investigation was initiated on March 4, 2001, in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Spicer
Driveshaft Manufacturing, Inc., Division of the Dana
Corporation, Lima, Ohio. The workers produced companion flanges
(parts for automotive drive shafts).


The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been
met.
The subject firm is not importing companion flanges (parts
for automotive drive shafts).
The United States Department of Labor conducted a survey of
the subject firm's major customers regarding their purchases of
companion flanges in 2000 and 2001. That survey revealed that
customer(s) of the subject firm are not importing companion
flanges (parts for automotive drive shafts).
A petition for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance was
filed on behalf of workers at the subject firm (NAFTA-5597),
resulted in a negative determination.


Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of
Spicer Driveshaft Manufacturing, Inc., Division of the Dana
Corporation, Lima, Ohio, are denied eligibility to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 27th day of March 2002.
