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:
I. The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(1)) requires that a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm
must have become totally or partially separated or be
threatened with total or partial separation.

II. The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied if either:

(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers' firm to a
foreign country in the production of articles or
supply of services like or directly competitive with
those produced/supplied by the workers' firm; OR
(i)(II) there has been an acquisition from a foreign
country by the workers' firm of articles/services that
are like or directly competitive with those
produced/supplied by the workers' firm.

III. The third criterion requires that the shift/acquisition
must have contributed importantly to the workers'
separation or threat of separation. See Section
222(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. §
2272(a)(2)(B)(ii).

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on May 20, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Ogden Manufacturing, Inc., Edinboro Plant, a
subsidiary of Chromalox, Inc., Edinboro, Pennsylvania (Ogden
Edinboro). The workers produce industrial steam boilers and
electric heaters.
The investigation revealed that workers of Ogden Edinboro
who are engaged in employment related to industrial steam
boilers and electric heaters meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of workers at the firm have been separated
commencing in May 2009.
Criterion II has been met because the workers' firm has
shifted to a foreign country the production of an article like
or directly competitive with the article produced by the
workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
industrial steam boilers and electric heaters to Mexico by
Ogden Edinboro contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Ogden Edinboro.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Ogden Manufacturing,
Inc., Edinboro Plant, a subsidiary of Chromalox, Inc.,
Edinboro, Pennsylvania, who are engaged in employment related to
industrial steam boilers and electric heaters 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 Ogden Manufacturing, Inc., Edinboro Plant,
a subsidiary of Chromalox, Inc., Edinboro, Pennsylvania,
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 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 6th day of July, 2009.
