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 March 4, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Pratt and Whitney International Aerospace Tubes,
LLC, Indianapolis, Indiana (Pratt and Whitney International
Aerospace Tubes, LLC). The workers are engaged in activities
related to the production and repair of tubes, ducts and
manifolds for aircraft engines. The workers are not separately
identifiable by product or service. The worker group includes
on-site leased workers from Manpower Professional Services and
Creative Financial Staffing (CFS).
The investigation revealed that workers of Pratt and
Whitney International Aerospace Tubes, LLC, including on-site
leased workers from Manpower Professional Services and Creative
Financial Staffing (CFS), Indianapolis, Indiana who are
engaged in activities related to the production and repair of
tubes, ducts and manifolds for aircraft engines meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers have become separated, or are threatened with
separation, during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift in production of tubes, ducts and manifolds for aircraft
engines by Pratt and Whitney International Aerospace Tubes,
LLC, to Singapore.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of tubes,
ducts and manifolds for aircraft engines to Singapore by Pratt
and Whitney International Aerospace Tubes, LLC contributed
importantly to worker separations at Pratt and Whitney
International Aerospace Tubes, LLC.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Pratt and Whitney
International Aerospace Tubes, LLC, including on-site leased
workers from Manpower Professional Services and Creative
Financial Staffing (CFS), Indianapolis, Indiana who are engaged
in activities related to the production and repair of tubes,
ducts and manifolds for aircraft engines 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 Pratt and Whitney International Aerospace
Tubes, LLC, including on-site leased workers from Manpower
Professional Services and Creative Financial Staffing
(CFS), Indianapolis, Indiana who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after March 1,
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 20th day of May, 2010.
