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 on July 6, 2009, on behalf of workers of Liberty
Aerospace, Melbourne, Florida. The workers produce single
engine airplanes. The worker group includes leased workers
from Aviation Consultant, Inc., Kimberlin Consulting Aviation
Services, Rock Engineering, Klemish Management, the Arvai
Group, Holland Aviation Corporation, and independent
contractors reporting to the Melbourne, Florida location.
The investigation revealed that workers of Liberty
Aerospace who are engaged in employment related to production of
single engine airplanes meet the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number of workers were separated within the last year.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and production of single engine airplanes by Liberty Aerospace
have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because aggregate
imports of articles like or directly competitive with single
engine airplanes by Liberty have increased during the period
of investigation.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased U.S. aggregate imports of single engine
airplanes contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales/production declines at Liberty
Aerospace.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Liberty Aerospace,
Melbourne, Florida, who are engaged in employment related to
production of single engine aircraft 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 Liberty Aerospace, including leased
workers from Aviation Consultant, Inc., Kimberlin
Consulting Aviation Services, Rock Engineering, Klemish
Management, the Arvai Group, Holland Aviation
Corporation, and independent contractors reporting to
this location, Melbourne, Florida, 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 12th day of April, 2010
