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 Trade 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 July 28, 2009, on behalf of workers of Cameron
Measurement Systems, Duncan, Oklahoma. The workers produce
turbine meters, flow computers, and totalizers. Workers are
not separately identifiable by product line.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Express Personnel.
The investigation revealed that workers of Cameron
Measurement Systems, who are engaged in employment related to
the production of turbine meters, flow computers, and
totalizers, meet the criteria as suppliers for secondary
worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because employment at the
subject facility declined by at least five percent during the
period under investigation.
Criterion II has been met because workers of Cameron
Measurement Systems, produced and sold turbine meters, flow
computers, and totalizers directly used as components by a firm
with Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) certified workers in the
production of an article that was the basis for the TAA-
certification.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business
by Cameron Measurement Systems with the TAA-certified firm
with respect to the components sold to the TAA-certified firm
contributed importantly to worker separations at Cameron
Measurement Systems.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Cameron Measurement
Systems, including on-site leased workers from Express
Personnel, Duncan, Oklahoma, who are engaged in employment
related to the production of turbine meters, flow computers,
and totalizers used as components meet the worker group
certification criteria under Section 222(c) of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2272(c). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Cameron Measurement Systems, including
on-site leased workers from Express Personnel, Duncan,
Oklahoma, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after June 27, 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 10th day of May, 2010
