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 26, 2009 on behalf of workers of Sanoh America,
Inc., Findlay, Ohio. The workers are engaged in employment
related to the production of fluid handling tubing for the
automotive industry. The worker group includes on-site leased
workers of Time Services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Sanoh America,
Inc., Findlay, Ohio who are engaged in employment related to
the production of fluid handling tubing, meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers have become separated during the relevant
period.
Criterion II has been met because the workers' firm has
shifted to a foreign country production of articles like or
directly competitive with the articles produced by the
workers' firm.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production to Mexico by Sanoh America, Inc. contributed
importantly to worker separations at the Findlay, Ohio
facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Sanoh America, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers of Time Services, Findlay, Ohio
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 Sanoh America, Inc., including on-site
leased workers of Time Services, Findlay, Ohio who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
August 21, 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."
