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 17, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of BAE Systems Control, Inc., Irving, Texas. The
workers are engaged in employment related to the production of
electronic avionics for commercial airplane production. The
worker group also includes on-site leased workers from Aerotek
and Superior Technical Resources.
The investigation revealed that workers of BAE Systems
Control, Inc., Irving, Texas who are engaged in employment
related to the production of electronic avionics for commercial
airplane production, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant portion of
the workers have become separated at the Irving, Texas
location during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because the workers' firm is
shifting production to a foreign country of articles like or
directly competitive with the articles produced by the
workers' firm at the Irving, Texas location.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production to Mexico by BAE Systems Control, Inc. contributed
importantly to worker separations at the Irving, Texas
facility.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of BAE Systems Control,
Inc., including on-site leased workers of Aerotek and Superior
Technical Resources, Irving, Texas, 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 BAE Systems Control, Inc., including on-
site leased workers of Aerotek and Superior Technical
Resources, Irving, Texas, 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 7th day of December, 2009
