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:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on September 9, 2009 on behalf of Greenheck Fan
Corporation, Schofield, Wisconsin (Greenheck Fan Corporation).
Workers at the subject firm are engaged in activities related to
the production of air movement products, outdoor air products,
and air control and architectural products. The workers are not
separately identifiable by product. The investigation revealed
that the worker group at the subject firm includes on-site
leased workers from Adecco Employment Services, Randstad, ABR
Corp., and Select Staffing.
The investigation further revealed that workers of
Greenheck Fan Corporation who are engaged in employment related
to the production of air movement products, outdoor air
products, and air control and architectural products meet the
criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm have
become totally or partially separated during the relevant
period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of air movement products, outdoor air
products, and air control and architectural products by the
subject firm decreased during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with air movement
products, outdoor air products, and air control and
architectural products produced by Greenheck Fan Corporation
have increased. Specifically, the Department of Labor conducted
a sample survey of the subject firm's major declining customers
regarding their purchases of air movement products, outdoor air
products, and air control and architectural products during the
relevant period. The survey revealed increased customer reliance
on imported air movement products, outdoor air products, and
air control and architectural products.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased imports of air movement products, outdoor air
products, and air control and architectural products by
customers of Greenheck Fan Corporation contributed importantly
to the worker group separations and sales/production declines
at Greenheck Fan Corporation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Greenheck Fan
Corporation, including on-site leased workers from Adecco
Employment Services, Randstad, ABR Corp., and Select Staffing,
Schofield, Wisconsin, who are engaged in activities related to
the production of air movement products, outdoor air products,
and air control and architectural products 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 Greenheck Fan Corporation, including on-
site leased workers from Adecco Employment Services,
Randstad, ABR Corp., and Select Staffing, Schofield,
Wisconsin, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after September 8, 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 1st day of June 2010
