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. (Set forth in 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 February 22, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Transmission Technologies Corporation, KUO Group,
Knoxville, Tennessee (Transmission Technologies Corporation).
The workers are engaged in activities related to the production
of shift levelers and shift components. The workers are not
separately identifiable by product. The worker group also
includes on-site leased workers from Randstad Temporary Service.
The investigation revealed that workers of Transmission
Technologies Corporation, KUO Group, including on-site leased
workers from Randstad Temporary Service, Knoxville, Tennessee
who are engaged in activities related to the production of
shift levelers and shift components meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of workers at the workers' firm have become totally
or partially separated.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift in production of shift levelers and shift components by
Transmission Technologies Corporation to Mexico.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in production
of shift levelers and shift components by Transmission
Technologies Corporation to Mexico contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Transmission Technologies
Corporation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Transmission
Technologies Corporation, KUO Group, including on-site leased
workers from Randstad Temporary Service, Knoxville, Tennessee,
who are engaged in employment related to production of shift
levelers and shift 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 Transmission Technologies Corporation, KUO
Group, including on-site leased workers from Randstad
Temporary Service, Knoxville, Tennessee, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
February 18, 2009, 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 7th day of April, 2010
