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(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), can be
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
I. a significant number or proportion of the workers in
the workers' firm or an appropriate subdivision of the
firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially
separated;

II. the workers' firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer
to a firm that employed a group of workers who
received a certification of eligibility under Section
222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such
supply or production is related to the article or
service that was the basis for such certification; and

III. either
(A) the workers' firm is a supplier and the component
parts it supplied to the firm described in paragraph
(2) accounted for at least 20 percent of the
production or sales of the workers' firm; or
(B) a loss of business by the workers' firm with the firm
described in paragraph (2) contributed importantly to
the workers' separation or threat of separation.

Section 222(d) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(d), defines the
term "Supplier" as "a firm that produces and supplies directly
to another firm component parts for articles, or in the supply
of services, as the case may be, that were the basis for a
certification of eligibility under subsection (a) [of Section
222 of the Act] of a group of workers employed by such other
firm."
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed by a Company Official on March 11, 2010 on behalf of the
workers of LSI Marcole, Inc., formerly known as LSI Industries,
Inc., Manchester, Tennessee (LSI). The worker group includes
on-site leased workers from Randstad. Workers at the subject
firm are engaged in activities related to the production of wire
harnesses.
The investigation revealed that workers of LSI who are
engaged in employment related to the production of wire
harnesses meet the criteria as Suppliers for secondary worker
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 satisfied because workers of LSI
produced and sold wire harnesses to a firm that employed a
worker group who is covered by an active certification to be
incorporated into commercial cooking equipment.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business
by the workers' firm with a firm that employed a worker group
covered by an active certification contributed importantly to
the workers' separation or threat of separation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of LSI Marcole, Inc.,
formerly known as LSI Industries, Inc., Manchester, Tennessee,
including on-site leased workers from Randstad, who are engaged
in activities related to the production of wire harnesses 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 LSI Marcole, Inc., formerly known as LSI
Industries, Inc., Manchester, Tennessee, including on-site
leased workers from Randstad, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after March 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 24th day of May 2010
