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 24, 2009 by the state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Aero-Metric, Inc., Sheboygan, Wisconsin (Aero-
Metric, Inc.). The workers are engaged in activities related
to the production of digital and hardcopy aerial maps.
The investigation revealed that workers of Aero-Metric,
Inc. who are engaged in activities related to the production
of digital hardcopy aerial maps meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers in the workers' firm have become
totally or partially separated from January through June 2009
over the corresponding 2008 period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because 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
during the relevant period.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
activities related to the production of digital and hardcopy
aerial maps to India contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Aero-Metric.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Aero-Metric, Inc.,
Sheboygan, Wisconsin, who are engaged in employment related to
the production of digital and hardcopy aerial maps 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 Aero-Metric, Inc., Sheboygan, Wisconsin,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after June 23, 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 20th day of October, 2009.
