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 on March 30, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Gaming Partners International USA, Inc., a
subsidiary of Gaming Partners International Corporation, Las
Vegas, Nevada. Workers at the subject firm produce gaming
supplies and are not separately identifiable by product line.
The investigation revealed that workers of Gaming Partners
International USA, Inc., Las Vegas, Nevada, who are engaged in
employment related to the production of gaming supplies, meet
the criteria as suppliers 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 Gaming Partners
International USA, Inc. is shifting the production of gaming
supplies to a foreign country.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
production to Mexico contributed importantly to worker group
separations at the Las Vegas, Nevada facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Gaming Partners
International USA, Inc., a subsidiary of Gaming Partners
International Corporation, 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 Gaming Partners International USA, Inc., a
subsidiary of Gaming Partners International Corporation,
Las Vegas, Nevada, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after March 25, 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 25th day of June, 2010
