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 2, 2009, on behalf of workers of Atwood Mobile
Products, LLC, Antwerp/Spec-Temp Division, Antwerp, Ohio. The
workers produce tempered glass for the use in solar panels,
mass transit windows, marine windows, and truck tops.
The investigation revealed that workers of Atwood Mobile
Products, who are engaged in employment related to the
production of tempered glass, meet the criteria for
certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because at least five
percent of the workers have become separated from employment
during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and production of tempered glass produced by Atwood Mobile
have decreased absolutely during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of articles like or directly competitive with tempered
glass produced by Atwood Mobile have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased imports of tempered glass by customers of Atwood
Mobile Products contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales/production declines at the Antwerp, Ohio
facility.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Atwood Mobile
Products, LLC, Antwerp/Spec-Temp Division, Antwerp, Ohio, who
are engaged in employment related to the production of tempered
glass, 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 Atwood Mobile Products, LLC, Antwerp/Spec-
Temp Division, Antwerp, Ohio, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after May 29,
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 29th day of September, 2009
