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 10, 2009 by a state workforce official on behalf
of workers of Darly Custom Technology, Bloomfield, Connecticut.
The workers produced metalizers. The workers are not separately
identifiable by products produced.
The investigation revealed that workers of Darly Custom
Technology Corporation who are engaged in employment related
to production of metalizers meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because more than 3% of the
workers in the workers firm were separated in the previous
year and no intended future layoffs for the remainder of this
year.
Criterion II has been satisfied because Darly Custom
Technology Corporation has shifted to a foreign country the
acquisition of articles like or directly competitive with the
articles produced by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
metalizers to Taiwan by Darly Custom Technology Corporation
which contributed importantly to worker group separations
within the subject firm.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Darly Custom
Technology Corporation, Bloomfield, Connecticut, who are engaged
in employment related to the production of metalizers 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 Darly Custom Technology Corporation,
Bloomfield, Connecticut who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 10, 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 16th day of August, 2009.
