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 at the Johnson
Controls Incorporated, Roanoke Facility of the Building Efficiency
Division, Roanoke, Virginia 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 9, 2009 on behalf of workers of Maggy London
International Ltd., New York, New York. The workers were engaged in
activities related to the production of women's apparel (blouses,
dresses, skirts, and jackets).
The investigation revealed that workers of Maggy London
International Ltd., New York, New York, who were engaged in
activities related to production of women's apparel (dresses,
blouses, skirts, and jackets) 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 met because the sales and production of
women's apparel (dresses, blouses, skirts, and jackets) decreased.
Criterion III has been met because certain aggregate United
States imports of like or directly competitive women's apparel
produced by the subject firm were high relative to manufacturers'
production, and increased relatively to production in the relevant
period.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased aggregate United States imports of like or directly
competitive women's apparel contributed importantly to the worker
group separations and sales/production declines at the subject
firm.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investigation,
I determine that workers of Maggy London International, Ltd., New
York, New York who are engaged in activities related to production of
women's apparel (dresses, blouses, skirts, and jackets) 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 Maggy London International, Ltd., New York, New
York who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after September 14, 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 1st day of April, 2010
