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 September 9, 2009 by and on behalf of workers of
Control Logic, Inc., Connelly Springs, North Carolina. The
workers produce control panels for the woodworking industry.
The investigation revealed that workers of Control Logic,
Inc., Connelly Springs, North Carolina, who are engaged in
employment related to the production of control panels, meet
the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because significant layoffs at
the subject firm have occurred.
Criterion II has been satisfied because production of
control panels has been shifted to Germany.
Criterion III has been met because the production shift
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Control
Logic, Inc., Connelly Springs, North Carolina.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Control Logic, Inc.,
Connelly Springs, North Carolina, who are engaged in employment
related to control panels, 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 Control Logic, Inc., Connelly Springs,
North Carolina, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 9th day of November, 2009
