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 on March 18, 2002 in
response to a petition filed by the company official on behalf of
workers and former workers of Ingersoll CM Systems, Inc.,
Midland, Michigan. The workers are engaged in the production of
machine tools: crankshaft processing equipment.
The investigation revealed that sales and employment at the
subject firm decreased during the relevant periods.
A survey conducted by the Department of Labor revealed that
major bids awarded to foreign manufacturers in which the subject
firm was the lowest bidder represented a significant portion of
the sales decline and contributed importantly to the separations
of workers.

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 machine tools: crankshaft processing
equipment produced at Ingersoll CM Systems, Inc., Midland,
Michigan 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 Ingersoll CM Systems, Inc., Midland,
Michigan who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 8, 2001 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 April, 2002.
