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 Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) petition filed on June 8, 2010
behalf of workers of Hubbell Lighting, Inc., HLI Division, a
subsidiary of Hubbell, Inc., Christiansburg, Virginia (subject
firm). Workers at the subject firm are engaged in employment
related to the production of outdoor and industrial lighting
products. The worker group does not include on-site leased
workers.
The investigation revealed that workers of the subject firm
meet the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of workers at the subject firm has been
totally or partially separated, or threatened with such
separation.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of outdoor and industrial lighting products
by the subject firm have decreased absolutely during the
relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with those produced by
the subject firm increased during the relevant period.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the subject firm's increased reliance on imports contributed
importantly to the worker group separations and
sales/production declines at Christiansburg, Virginia.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hubbell Lighting,
Inc., HLI Division, a subsidiary of Hubbell, Inc.,
Christiansburg, Virginia, 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 Hubbell Lighting, Inc., HLI Division, a
subsidiary of Hubbell, Inc., Christiansburg, Virginia, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after May 27, 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."
