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 October 2, 2009 on behalf of workers of Nachi
Machining Technology Company, subsidiary of Nachi America,
Inc., Macomb, Michigan. The workers produce machine tooling
machines.
The investigation revealed that workers of Nachi Machining
Technology Company, who produce machine tooling machines, meet
the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because all workers at the
workers' firm have been separated 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.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production of machine tooling machines by Nachi Machining
Technology Company contributed importantly to worker group
separations at the Macomb, Michigan facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Nachi Machining
Technology Company, subsidiary of Nachi America, Inc., Macomb,
Michigan, who produce machine tooling machines, 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 Nachi Machining Technology Company,
subsidiary of Nachi America, Inc., Macomb, Michigan, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after September 30, 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 2nd day of June, 2010
