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 a state agency representative on
behalf of workers of Marlo Electronics, Inc., Fort Lauderdale,
Florida. The workers produce printed circuit boards.
The investigation revealed that workers of Marlo
Electronics, Inc. who are engaged in employment related to
printed circuit boards meet the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of workers at the firm have been
separated from 2007 to 2008, and during the period of January
through June 2009 compared to the corresponding 2008 period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of printed circuit boards by Marlo
Electronics, Inc. have decreased absolutely during the
relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles or services like or directly competitive with printed
circuit boards produced by Marlo Electronics, Inc. have
increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased imports of printed circuit boards by customers
of Marlo Electronic, Inc. contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales/production declines at
Marlo Electronic, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Marlo Electronic,
Inc., Fort Lauderdale, Florida, who are engaged in employment
related to printed circuit boards 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 Marlo Electronic, Inc., Fort Lauderdale,
Florida, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after May 19, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 23rd day of September, 2009.
