Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (19 USC 2273), 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 Trade Adjustment
Assistance, the group eligibility requirements in either paragraph
(a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act must be met.
It is determined in this case that the requirements of (a)(2)(B) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on January 15, 2009, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Domino Lasers, Inc., a subsidiary of Domino Printing
Sciences, Anaheim, California. The workers produce laser coding
machines.
The investigation revealed that employment at the subject
facility declined during the period under investigation.
The subject facility shifted production of laser coding
machines to an affiliated facility in the United Kingdom, and is
likely, following this shift abroad, to increase imports of laser
coding machines.
In addition, in order for the Department to issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for ATAA, the group
eligibility requirements of Section 246 of the Trade Act must be
met. The Department has determined in this case that the
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 facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that there was a shift in production
from the workers' firm or subdivision to the United Kingdom of
articles that are like or directly competitive with those produced
by the subject firm or subdivision, and there has been or is likely
to be an increase in imports of like or directly competitive
articles. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:



"All workers of Domino Lasers, Inc., a subsidiary of Domino
Printing Sciences, including on-site leased workers from
Aerotek, and Apple One, Anaheim, California, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
January 14, 2008, through two years from the date of
certification are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also
eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance
under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 27th day of January 2009
