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 July 29, 2009 on behalf of workers of Best Top
Inc., formerly known as Global Accessories, Inc., Fremont,
Ohio (Best Top). The workers produce tonneau covers.
Workers of Global Accessories, Inc., Fremont, Ohio were
certified eligible to apply for trade adjustment assistance
based on a shift in production of front end covers and car
covers, under petition number TA-W-59,868, which expired on
August 18, 2008.
The investigation revealed that workers of Best Top, Inc.,
who are engaged in employment related to production of tonneau
covers, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because at least five percent
of the workers have become separated from employment during
the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country the production of an article
like or directly competitive with the article produced by the
workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production of tonneau covers to Mexico by Best Top, Inc.
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Best
Top, Inc.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Best Top, Inc.,
formerly known as Global Accessories, Inc., Fremont, Ohio, who
are engaged in employment related to production of tonneau
covers, 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 Best Top, Inc., formerly known as Global
Accessories Inc., Fremont, Ohio, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after August 19,
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 28th day of September, 2009
