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 6, 2010 by three workers on behalf of workers of
General Electric Company, Transportation Division, including
on-site leased workers of Adecco Technical, Grove City,
Pennsylvania. The workers produce diesel engines.
The investigation revealed that workers of General Electric
Company who are engaged in employment related to the
production of diesel engines meet the criteria as Suppliers
for secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated over the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because workers of General
Electric Company produced diesel engines that were directly
supplied to a firm with a currently certified TAA worker
group, and the component 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 General Electric Company with the TAA-certified firm, with
respect to diesel engines sold to the TAA-certified firm,
contributed importantly to worker separations at General
Electric Company.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of General Electric
Company, Transportation Division, including on-site leased
workers of Adecco Technical, Grove City, Pennsylvania, who are
engaged in employment related to the production of diesel
engines 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 General Electric Company, Transportation
Division, including on-site leased workers of Adecco
Technical, Grove City, Pennsylvania, 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 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 1st day of September, 2010
