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 20, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Allied Air Enterprises, Inc., Blackville, South
Carolina. The workers are engaged in the production of
residential heating and cooling equipment. The worker group
includes on-site leased workers of Gallman Personnel Services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Allied Air
Enterprises, Inc., who are engaged in employment related to
the production of residential heating and cooling equipment,
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' firm.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production of residential heating and cooling equipment by
Allied Air Enterprises, Inc. to Mexico contributed importantly
to worker group separations at the Blackville, South Carolina
facility.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Allied Air
Enterprises, Inc., Blackville, South Carolina, including on-
site leased workers of Gallman Personnel Services, who are
engaged in employment related to the production of residential
heating and cooling equipment, 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 Allied Air Enterprises, Inc., including
leased on-site workers of Gallman Personnel Services,
Blackville, South Carolina, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after August 20, 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 22nd day of September, 2009
