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 16, 2009 by a company official on behalf of the
workers of Oracle Lens Manufacturing, Warwick, Rhode Island. The
workers produced polycarbonate ophthalmic lenses. The worker
group includes on-site leased workers of Tech/Temps, Quality
Sources International, Majestic Staffing Inc., and Colony
Personnel Inc.
The investigation revealed that workers of Oracle Lens
Manufacturing, Warwick, Rhode Island, who are engaged in
employment related to the production of polycarbonate
ophthalmic lenses, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because at least five percent of
the workers have become separated in the last year.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the worker's firm
has shifted its acquisition of polycarbonate ophthalmic lenses
to a contracted facility in Taiwan.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
acquisition contributed importantly to worker group
separations at the Warwick, Rhode Island facility.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Oracle Lens
Manufacturing, Warwick, Rhode Island, including on-site leased
workers of Tech/Temps, Quality Sources International, Majestic
Staffing Inc., and Colony Personnel Inc., who are engaged in
employment related to production of polycarbonate ophthalmic
lenses 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 Oracle Lens Manufacturing, Warwick, Rhode
Island, including on-site leased workers of Tech/Temps,
Quality Sources International, Majestic Staffing Inc., and
Colony Personnel Inc., who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 15, 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 August, 2009
