Modine Manufacturing, Blythewood, 

SC; Notice of Revised Determination 

on Reconsideration 

On November 16, 2006, the 

Department issued an Affirmative 

Determination Regarding Application 

for Reconsideration for the workers and 

former workers of Modine 

Manufacturing, Blythewood, South 

Carolina (the subject firm). The 

Department’s Notice of affirmative 

determination was published in the 

Federal Register on November 24, 2006 

(71 FR 67918). 

The worker-filed petition, dated 

September 19, 2006, stated that the 

subject firm produces automotive 

transmission oil coolers, that the subject 

firm will close in April 2007, and that 

subject firm production is shifting 

abroad (to Mexico). 

The denial of the workers’ eligibility 

to apply for Trade Adjustment 

Assistance (TAA) and Alternative Trade 

Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) was 

based on the Department’s findings that 

there was no decline in sales or 

production in January through August 

2006 compared to the same period in 

2005, the subject firm did not import, 

and the subject firm did not shift 

production abroad during the relevant 

period. The determination was issued 

on October 12, 2006 and the Notice of 

determination was published in the 

Federal Register on October 25, 2006 

(71 FR 62490). 

Based on the July 20, 2006 WARN 

notice provided during the 

reconsideration (‘‘It is anticipated that 

the plant closing will commence on 

September 15, 2006 and will continue 

into 2007’’), the Department determines 

that, during the relevant period, there 

were significant sales, production, and 

employment declines at the subject 

firm. 

On reconsideration, the Department 

received information that revealed no 

increased import purchases of 

automotive transmission oil coolers or 

articles like or directly competitive with 

automotive transmission oil coolers by 

either the subject firm or the subject 

firm’s major declining customers. As 

such, the Department determines that 

increased imports did not contribute 

importantly to the subject workers’

separations. 

During the reconsideration 

investigation, the Department also 

confirmed with company officials that 

production shifted from the subject firm 

to an affiliated facility in Illinois. 

When it became apparent during the 

reconsideration investigation that the 

subject workers are not eligible to apply 

for TAA as primary workers, the 

Department conducted an investigation 

to determine whether the workers are 

eligible as secondary workers (workers 

of a company that supplied component 

parts to a customer that employed a 

group of workers certified for TAA). 

As the reconsideration investigation 

progressed, the Department was able to 

identify a subject firm customer that 

employed a group of workers who 

received a TAA certification and 

determined that the component parts 

supplied by the subject firm are related 

to the article that was the basis for the 

certification. Further, the new 

information revealed that the TAAcertified customer constituted over 20% 

of subject firm sales prior to the plant 

closure in September 2006. 

In accordance with Section 246 the 

Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as 

amended, the Department herein 

presents the results of its investigation 

regarding certification of eligibility to 

apply for ATAA. The Department has 

determined in this case that the group 

eligibility requirements of Section 246 

have been met. 

A significant number of workers at the 

firm are age 50 or over and possess 

skills that are not easily transferable. 

Competitive conditions within the 

industry are adverse. 

Conclusion 

After careful review of the 

information obtained in the 

reconsideration investigation, I 

determine that workers of Modine 

Manufacturing, Blythewood, South 

Carolina qualify as adversely affected 

secondary workers under Section 222 of 

the Trade Act of 1974, as amended. In 

accordance with the provisions of the 

Act, I make the following certification: 

‘‘All workers of Modine Manufacturing, 

Blythewood, South Carolina, who became 

totally or partially separated from 

employment on or after September 19, 2005 

through two years from the date of this 

certification, are eligible to apply for 

adjustment assistance under Section 223 of 

the Trade Act of 1974, and are eligible to 

apply for alternative trade adjustment 

assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act 

of 1974.’’

April 2007.
