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 June 1, 2009 by three workers on behalf of workers of
Dometic Corporation, Sanitation Division, Big Prairie, Ohio.
The workers are engaged in employment related to the production
of sanitation system components for boats and recreational
vehicles. The worker group includes on-site leased workers of
Mancan, Inc.
The investigation revealed that workers of Dometic
Corporation, Sanitation Division who are engaged in employment
related to the production of sanitation system components, meet
the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
proportion of workers in the workers' firm have become
separated during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and production of sanitation system components by Dometic
Corporation, Sanitation Division decreased during the relevant
period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because company
imports of articles like or directly competitive with
sanitation system components produced by Dometic Corporation,
Sanitation Division have increased during the relevant period.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased imports of sanitation system components by Dometic
Corporation, Sanitation Division contributed importantly to
the worker group separations and sales/production declines at
the Big Prairie, Ohio facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Dometic Corporation,
Sanitation Division, including on-site leased workers of Mancan,
Inc., Big Prairie, Ohio 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 Dometic Corporation, Sanitation Division,
including on-site leased workers of Mancan, Inc., Big
Prairie, Ohio, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after May 28, 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 30th day of March, 2010
