GENERAL ELECTRIC KENTUCKY GLASS PLANT,

INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM
THE PATTY TIPTON COMPANY, AETNA BUILDING MAINTENANCE
AND CONCENTRA
LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY

Amended 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 issued
a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance on December 23, 2009, applicable to workers of General
Electric Kentucky Glass Plant, Lighting, LLC, including on-site
leased workers from The Patty Tipton Company and Aetna Building
Maintenance, Lexington, Kentucky. The notice was published in
the Federal Register on February 16, 2010 (75 FR 7034).
At the request of the State Agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in the production of glass envelopes for light bulbs.
The company reports that on-site leased workers from
Concentra were employed on-site at the Lexington, Kentucky
location of General Electric Kentucky Glass Plant, Lighting, LLC.
The Department has determined that these workers were
sufficiently under the control of the subject firm to be
considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from Concentra working
on-site at the Lexington, Kentucky location of General Electric
Kentucky Glass Plant, Lighting, LLC.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-72,011 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of General Electric Kentucky Glass Plant,
Lighting LLC, including on-site leased workers from The
Patty Tipton Company, Aetna Building Maintenance and
Concentra, Lexington, Kentucky, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after July
14, 2008, through December 23, 2011, 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 at Washington, D.C. this 24th day of February 2010.

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 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 August 13, 2009, by the International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers, Local 1627, on behalf of workers of General
Electric Kentucky Glass Plant, Lighting LLC, Lexington, Kentucky
(General Electric Kentucky Glass Plant). The workers produce glass
envelopes for light bulbs. The worker group includes on-site
leased workers of The Patty Tipton Company and Aetna Building
Maintenance.
The investigation revealed that workers of General Electric
Kentucky Glass Plant, who are engaged in employment related to the
production of glass envelopes for light bulbs, meet the criteria
as Suppliers for secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion or
number of worker at General Electric Kentucky Glass Plant was
separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because workers of the Kentucky
Glass Plant produced and sold glass envelopes for light bulbs to
a firm that employed a worker group who is covered by an active
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) certification to be
incorporated into light bulbs.
Criterion III has been met because the glass envelopes
produced by General Electric Kentucky Glass Plant for the firm
that employed a TAA-certified worker group accounted for at least
20 percent of the production or sales of General Electric Kentucky
Glass.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of General Electric
Kentucky Glass Plant, who are engaged in employment related to the
production of glass envelopes for light bulbs, 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 General Electric Kentucky Glass Plant,
Lighting LLC, including on-site leased workers of The Patty
Tipton Company and Aetna Building Maintenance, Lexington,
Kentucky, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after July 14, 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.”
