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:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed by three workers on June 23, 2009 on behalf of workers of
International Extrusion Corporation, International Aluminum
Division, Alhambra, California. Workers at the subject firm are
engaged in activities related to the production of aluminum
extrusions used in commercial and residential building products.
The workers are not separately identifiable by product.
The investigation further revealed that workers of
International Extrusion Corporation, International Aluminum
Division, Alhambra, California who are engaged in employment
related to the production of aluminum extrusions meet the
criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm have
become totally or partially separated during the relevant
period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of aluminum extrusions by the subject firm
decreased during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with aluminum extrusions
produced by International Extrusion Corporation, International
Aluminum Division, Alhambra, California have increased.
Specifically, the Department of Labor conducted a survey of the
subject firm's major declining customers regarding their
purchases of aluminum extrusions during the relevant period.
The survey revealed increased customer reliance on imported
aluminum extrusions.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased imports of aluminum extrusions by customers of
International Extrusion Corporation contributed importantly to
the worker group separations and sales/production declines at
International Extrusion Corporation, International Aluminum
Division, Alhambra, California.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of International
Extrusion Corporation, International Aluminum Division,
Alhambra, California who are engaged in activities related to
the production of aluminum extrusions 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 International Extrusion Corporation,
International Aluminum Division, Alhambra, California, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after June 22, 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 25th day of February 2010
