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 August 6, 2010 by a State Workforce Agency on behalf of
workers of Wood Group Component Repair Services, Inc., a
division of Wood Group Gas Turbine Services, Inc., East
Windsor, Connecticut (Wood Group Component Repair Services,
Inc.). The workers are engaged in activities related to the
provision of repair and overhaul of gas turbine engine
components. The workers are not separately identifiable.
The investigation revealed that workers of Wood Group
Component Repair Services, Inc. who are engaged in activities
related to repair and overhaul of gas turbine engine components
meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers at the workers' firm have become totally or
partially separated or are threatened with total or partial
separation.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country repair and overhaul of gas
turbine engine components during the relevant period.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of repair and
overhaul of gas turbine engine components to Thailand by Wood
Group Component Repair Services, Inc. contributed importantly
to worker group separations at Wood Group Component Repair
Services, Inc.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Wood Group Component
Repair Services, Inc., a division of Wood Group Gas Turbine
Services, Inc., East Windsor, Connecticut, who are engaged in
activities related to repair and overhaul of gas turbine engine
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 Wood Group Component Repair Services, Inc.,
a division of Wood Group Gas Turbine Services, Inc., East
Windsor, Connecticut, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after August 3, 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 1st day of September, 2010.
