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(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), can be
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
I. a significant number or proportion of the workers in
the workers' firm or an appropriate subdivision of the
firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially
separated;

II. the workers' firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer
to a firm that employed a group of workers who
received a certification of eligibility under Section
222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such
supply or production is related to the article or
service that was the basis for such certification; and

III. either
(A) the workers' firm is a supplier and the component
parts it supplied to the firm described in paragraph
(2) accounted for at least 20 percent of the
production or sales of the workers' firm; or
(B) a loss of business by the workers' firm with the firm
described in paragraph (2) contributed importantly to
the workers' separation or threat of separation.

Section 222(d) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(d), defines the
term "Supplier" as "a firm that produces and supplies directly
to another firm component parts for articles, or services used
in the production of articles or in the supply of services, as
the case may be, that were the basis for a certification of
eligibility under subsection (a) [of Section 222 of the Act] of
a group of workers employed by such other firm."
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on June 16, 2009 by three workers on behalf of workers of
Norandal USA, Inc., Huntingdon Division, including on-site
leased workers of Manpower, Huntingdon, Tennessee. The workers
produce rolled aluminum foil.
The investigation revealed that workers of the subject firm
who are engaged in activities related to the production of
rolled aluminum foil meet the criteria as Suppliers for
secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated by the subject firm during the
relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because workers of the
subject firm produced and sold rolled aluminum foil to Lennox,
Marshalltown, Iowa to be incorporated into air conditioners.
Workers of Lennox, Marshalltown, Iowa are covered by
certification number TA-W-63,608. The certification was based
on a shift in production to Mexico.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business
by the subject firm with respect to rolled aluminum foil sold
to Lennox contributed importantly to worker separations at the
subject firm.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Norandal USA, Inc.,
Huntingdon Division, including on-site leased workers of
Manpower, Huntingdon, Tennessee, who are engaged in activities
related to production of rolled aluminum foil, 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 Norandal USA, Inc., Huntingdon Division,
including on-site leased workers of Manpower, Huntingdon,
Tennessee, 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 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 23rd day of October, 2009.
