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 December 1, 2009 on behalf of workers of TTI
Transaction Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Coin
Acceptor's, Inc., Union, Missouri (TTI). The workers are
engaged in employment related to the supply of distribution
services of products produced by the subject firm and its
affiliates.
The investigation revealed that workers of TTI, who are
engaged in employment related to the supply of distribution
services, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
or number of workers at TTI have been totally or partially
separated from the subject firm in January through October
2009 when compared with the corresponding 2008 period.
Criterion II has been met because TTI has shifted to a
foreign country the supply of services like or directly
competitive with the distribution service supplied by the
subject workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
distribution services to China by TTI contributed importantly
to worker group separations at the Union, Missouri facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of TTI Transaction
Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Coin Acceptor's, Inc.,
Union, Missouri, who are engaged in employment related to the
supply of distribution 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 TTI Transaction Technologies, Inc., a
subsidiary of Coin Acceptor's, Inc., Union, Missouri, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after October 26, 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 30th day of March, 2010
