Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a Firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on May 19, 2009, by three workers on behalf of workers of
Lee Mah Electronics, Inc., San Francisco, California (Lee Mah).
The workers produce electronic power supplies. Workers are not
separately identifiable by article produced.
The investigation revealed that workers of Lee Mah, who are
engaged in employment related to the production of electronic
power supplies, meet the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
proportion or number of workers at Lee Mah was separated
during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of electronic power supplies at Lee Mah has
decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with electronic power
supplies produced by Lee Mah have increased. Specifically,
major customers of Lee Mah did increase their purchases of
electronic power supplies from foreign sources while curtailing
purchases from the subject firm during the investigation period.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased imports contributed importantly to the worker
group separations and sales/production declines at Lee Mah,
San Francisco, California.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Lee Mah Electronics,
Inc., San Francisco, California, who are engaged in employment
related to the production of electronic power supplies, meet the
worker group certification criteria under Section 222(a) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Lee Mah Electronics, Inc., San Francisco,
California, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after May 18, 2008, through two years from
the date of certification, and all workers in the group
threatened with total or partial separation from employment
on the date of certification through two years from the
date of certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended."
