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 June 26, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of JBL, Incorporated, a subsidiary of Harman
International Industries Inc., Northridge, California (JBL).
The workers are engaged in employment related to the production
of loudspeakers. The worker group includes on-site leased
workers from Select Staffing.
The workers at JBL were eligible to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) under TA-W-63,354 (issued June 24,
2009; expired on June 24, 2010). Workers separated on or before
June 24, 2010 cannot apply for TAA under TA-W-73,991.
The investigation revealed that workers of JBL, who are
engaged in employment related to the production of
loudspeakers, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
or number of workers at JBL have been totally or partially
separated, or threatened with such separation, during the
relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because JBL has shifted to a
foreign country the production of articles like or directly
competitive with the loudspeakers produced by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
production to Mexico contributed importantly to worker group
separations at JBL, Incorporated, Northridge, California.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of JBL, Incorporated, a
subsidiary of Harman International Industries Inc.,
Northridge, California, who are engaged in employment related to
the production of loudspeakers, 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 JBL, Incorporated, a subsidiary of Harman
International Industries Inc., including on-site leased
workers of Select Staffing, Northridge, California, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after June 25, 2010, 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 3rd day of August, 2010
