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 June 1, 2009, on behalf of workers of Royne Industries
LLC, doing business as Nascom, Kalama, Washington (Royne
Industries). The workers are engaged in employment related to
the production of magnetic contacts for the security industry.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Vertek International, Inc.
The investigation revealed that workers of Royne
Industries, who are engaged in employment related to the
production of magnetic contacts, meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
or number of workers at Royne Industries have became totally or
partially separated, or threatened with such separation,
during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because there has been a shift
in production by Royne Industries to a foreign country of
articles like or directly competitive with of magnetic
contacts produced by the worker group.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production to Mexico contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Royne Industries, Kalama, Washington.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Royne Industries LLC,
d/b/a Nascom, Kalama, Washington, who are engaged in employment
related to the production of magnetic contacts, 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 Royne Industries LLC, d/b/a Nascom,
including on-site leased workers from Vertek International,
Inc., Kalama, Washington, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after May 27, 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 March, 2010
