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. (Set forth in 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 31, 2009 on behalf of the workers of NuTec
Tooling Systems, Inc., Meadville, Pennsylvania (NuTec Tooling
Systems, Inc.). The workers are engaged in activities related to
the production of specialized automated equipment. The workers
are not separately identifiable by product. The investigation
revealed that the worker group includes on-site leased workers
from Career Concepts.
The investigation revealed that workers of NuTec Tooling
Systems, Inc., including on-site leased workers from Career
Concepts, Meadville, Pennsylvania, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of specialized automated
equipment meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers in the workers' firm have become
totally or partially separated.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift in a portion of the production of specialized automated
equipment by NuTec Tooling Systems, Inc. to Taiwan.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in a portion
of the production of specialized automated equipment by NuTec
Tooling Systems, Inc. to Taiwan contributed importantly to
worker group separations at NuTec Tooling Systems, Inc.




















Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of NuTec Tooling
Systems, Inc., including on-site leased workers from Career
Concepts, Meadville, Pennsylvania, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of specialized automated
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 NuTec Tooling Systems, Inc., including on-
site leased workers from Career Concepts, Meadville,
Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after August 28, 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."
