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 August 12, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Perry Slingsby Systems, Inc., Jupiter, Florida. The
workers are engaged in the production of Remotely Operated
Vehicles for the subsea oil and gas industry.
The investigation revealed that workers of the subject firm
who are engaged in employment related to the manufacture of
Remotely Operated Vehicles meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated from employment by the subject
firm during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the subject firm
has shifted to a foreign country the production of Remotely
Operated Vehicles, articles like or directly competitive with
articles produced by the subject firm worker group.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production of Remotely Operated Vehicles to the United Kingdom
by the subject firm contributed importantly to worker group
separations at the subject firm.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Perry Slingsby
Systems, Inc., Jupiter, Florida, including on-site leased
workers of Aerotek, TR Launay, and Blue Laguna, who are engaged
in activites related to production of Remotely Operated
Vehicles, 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 Perry Slingsby Systems, Inc., Jupiter,
Florida, including on-site leased workers of Aerotek, TR
Launay, and Blue Laguna, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after August 6, 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 6th day of October, 2009.
