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 21, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Dukes Titan Aviation LLC, Findlay, Ohio. The workers
are engaged in the production of aircraft refueling equipment.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers of Job1USA
Staffing.
The investigation revealed that workers of Dukes Titan
Aviation LLC, Findlay, Ohio, who are engaged in employment
related to the production of aircraft refueling equipment,
meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant portion of
workers have become separated at the Findlay location during
the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because the workers' firm is
shifting all production to a foreign country of articles like
or directly competitive with the articles produced by the
workers' firm at the Findlay, Ohio location.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production to France by Dukes Titan Aviation LLC 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 Dukes Titan Aviation
LLC, Findlay, Ohio, including on-site leased workers from
Job1USA Staffing, 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 Dukes Titan Aviation LLC, Findlay, Ohio
including on-site leased workers from Job1USA Staffing,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after October 20, 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."
