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 services used
in the production of 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 May 21, 2010 on behalf of the workers at Eagle Express
Trucking, Inc., Saint Marys, Pennsylvania (Eagle Express). The
workers are engaged in employment related to the supply of
intrastate and interstate logistic services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Eagle Express
meet the criteria as Suppliers for secondary worker
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
or number of workers at Eagle Express was totally or partially
separated, or threatened with such separation, during the
relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because Eagle Express supplied
services to a firm that employed a worker group who is
currently eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance
(TAA) and the services supplied to the firm are related to the
article or service that was the basis for the TAA
certification.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business
by Eagle Express with the firm, with respect to logistic
services supplied, contributed importantly to worker
separations at the Saint Marys, Pennsylvania facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Eagle Express
Trucking, Inc., Saint Marys, Pennsylvania, meet the worker group
certification criteria under Section 222(c) of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2272(c). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following certification:









"All workers of Eagle Express Trucking, Inc., Saint Marys,
Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after May 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 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
