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 January 7, 2010, on behalf of workers of Barnes
Aerospace, a subsidiary of Barnes Group, Inc., West Chester,
Ohio. The workers produce components for the aerospace
industry. The worker group includes on-site leased workers
from Diversified Design.
The investigation further revealed that workers of Barnes
Aerospace who are engaged in employment related to production
of aircraft components meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because employment has declined
by at least five percent during the period under
investigation.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country the production of articles
like or directly competitive with the articles produced by the
firm.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production by Barnes Aerospace contributed importantly to
worker group separations at the West Chester, Ohio facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Barnes Aerospace, a
subsidiary of Barnes Group, Inc., West Chester, Ohio, who are
engaged in employment related to production of aircraft
components 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 Barnes Aerospace, a subsidiary of Barnes
Group, Inc., including on-site leased workers from
Diversified Design, West Chester, Ohio, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after January
5, 2009, 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."
