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 26, 2009, on behalf of workers of Ceco Building
Systems, Robertson-Ceco Corporation division, a subsidiary of
NCI Building Systems, Inc., Rocky Mount, North Carolina (Ceco
Building Systems). The workers were engaged in production of
pre-engineered steel structures.
The investigation revealed that workers of Ceco Building
Systems, who were engaged in employment related to the
production of pre-engineered steel structures, meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because at least five percent of
workers in the worker group have became totally or partially
separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift in production of pre-engineered steel structures by Ceco
Building Systems to Mexico.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production of pre-engineered steel structures to Mexico by
Ceco Building Systems contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Ceco Building Systems, Rocky Mount, North
Carolina.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Ceco Building
Systems, Robertson-Ceco Corporation division, a subsidiary of
NCI Building Systems, Inc., Rocky Mount, North Carolina, who
were engaged in employment related to production of pre-
engineered steel structures 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 Ceco Building Systems, Robertson-Ceco
Corporation division, a subsidiary of NCI Building Systems,
Inc., Rocky Mount, North Carolina, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after May 21,
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 11th day of September 2009
