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 2, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Chromalox, a subsidiary of Chromalox, Inc.,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The workers are engaged in
activities such as accounting and finance, engineering,
administration, sales and customer service.
The worker group includes on-site workers leased from
Office Team and Accounttemps.
The investigation revealed that workers of Chromalox,
Corporate Office/Headquarters, a subsidiary of Chromalox,
Inc., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, engaged in services such as
accounting and finance, engineering, administration, sales and
customer service supporting production by the firm meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of workers at the firm were separated from
employment from 2007 to 2008, and during the period of January
through May 2009 when compared to the same time period in
2008.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country the production of articles
like or directly competitive with the articles produced by the
workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
industrial steam boilers and electric heaters to Mexico by
Ogden Manufacturing, Inc., Edinboro Plant, a subsidiary of
Chromalox, Inc., Edinboro, Pennsylvania, contributed importantly
to worker group separations at Chromalox, Corporate
Office/Headquarters, a subsidiary of Chromalox, Inc.,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Chromalox, a
subsidiary of Chromalox, Inc., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, who
are engaged in employment related to industrial steam boilers
and electric heaters 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 Chromalox, Corporate Office/Headquarters,
a subsidiary of Chromalox, Inc., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
including on-site leased workers from Office Team and
Accounttemps, 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 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 24th day of July, 2009.
