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 April 15, 2010, on behalf of workers of AVOX Systems,
Inc., a subsidiary of Zodiac Aerospace, Lancaster, New York.
The workers produce oxygen delivery systems for aviation. The
worker group includes on-site leased workers from KRG.
The investigation revealed that workers of AVOX Systems,
Inc. who are engaged in employment related to production of
oxygen delivery systems meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because employment 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 an article
like or directly competitive with the article produced by the
workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production of oxygen delivery systems by AVOX Systems, Inc.
contributed importantly to worker group separations at the
Lancaster, New York facility.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of AVOX Systems, Inc., a
subsidiary of Zodiac Aerospace, Lancaster, New York, who are
engaged in employment related to production of oxygen delivery
systems 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 AVOX Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of Zodiac
Aerospace, including on-site leased workers from KRG,
Lancaster, New York, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after March 29, 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 3rd day of June, 2010
