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:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on May 4, 2010, by a company official on behalf of
workers of Electronic Technical Services, Inc., Albuquerque, New
Mexico. The workers produce audio surveillance products.
The investigation revealed that workers of Electronic
Technical Services, Inc., Albuquerque, New Mexico who are
engaged in activities related to production of audio
surveillance products, meet the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
proportion of the workers have been totally or partially
separated during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and production of audio surveillance products by Electronic
Technical Services, Inc. have decreased absolutely during the
relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
audio surveillance products produced by Electronic Technical
Services, Inc. have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased customer imports of audio surveillance products
contributed importantly to the worker group separations and
sales/production declines at Electronic Technical Services,
Inc., Albuquerque, New Mexico.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Electronic Technical
Services, Inc., Albuquerque, New Mexico, who are engaged in
activities related to production of audio surveillance products
and machined components 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 Electronic Technical Services, Inc.,
Albuquerque, New Mexico, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after April 20, 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 16th day of December, 2010
