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 November 17, 2009, by a State Workforce Official on
behalf of workers of Moog Inc., Aircraft Division, Everett,
Washington. The workers are engaged in activities related to
engineering support services. The workers are not separately
identifiable by function. The worker group includes on-site
leased workers from Work Nexus.
The investigation revealed that workers of Moog Inc.,
Aircraft Division, including on-site leased workers from Work
Nexus, Everett, Washington who were engaged in activities
related to engineering support services 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 the workers of
Moog Inc., Aircraft Division, Salt Lake City, Utah are covered
by certification number TA-W-72,691 issued based on a shift in
production to a foreign country, and the workers of Moog Inc.,
Aircraft Division, Everett, Washington were in support of
production at Moog Inc., Aircraft Division, Salt Lake City,
Utah.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production by Moog Inc., Aircraft Division, Salt Lake City,
Utah contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Moog Inc., Aircraft Division, Everett, Washington.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Moog Inc., Aircraft
Division, including on-site leased workers from Work Nexus,
Everett, Washington, who are engaged in employment related to
engineering support services 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 Moog Inc., Aircraft Division, including
on-site leased workers from Work Nexus, Everett,
Washington, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after November 16, 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 25th day of January, 2010
