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 August 4, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Alumax Service Center, a division of SAPA
Extrusions, Inc., including on-site leased workers from
Manpower Temporary Services, Riverside, Missouri. The workers
provide administrative and sales services for SAPA Fabricated
Products.
The investigation revealed that workers of Alumax Service
Center who are engaged in employment related to the supply of
administrative and sales services for SAPA Fabricated Products
meet the criteria as Suppliers for secondary worker
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers are threatened with separation.

Criterion II has been met because workers of Alumax
Service Center supplied services directly to a firm with a
currently certified TAA worker group, and the service supplied
was related to the production of an article or the supply of a
service that was the basis for the TAA certification.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business
by Alumax Service Center with the TAA-certified firm, with
respect to administrative services sold to the TAA-certified
firm, contributed importantly to worker separations at Alumax
Service Center.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Alumax Service
Center, a division of SAPA Extrusions, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from Manpower Temporary Services, Riverside,
Missouri, who are engaged in employment related to
administrative services for SAPA Fabricated Products 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 Alumax Service Center, a division of SAPA
Extrusions, Inc., including on-site leased workers from
Manpower Temporary Services, Riverside, Missouri, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after July 15, 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 30th day of September, 2010
