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 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 13, 2010 on behalf of the workers of Peco II by
Lineage Power, Galion, Ohio. The workers were engaged in
employment related to the production of telecommunication power
equipment. The worker group includes on-site leased workers
from Waycraft, Incorporated.
The investigation revealed that workers of Peco II Lineage
Power, Galion, Ohio, who are engaged in activities related to
the production of telecommunication power equipment, meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
or number of workers at Peco II Lineage Power, Galion, Ohio, has
been totally or partially separated, or threatened with such
separation, during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because Peco II Lineage Power
has shifted to a foreign country the production of articles
like or directly competitive with the telecommunication power
equipment produced at the Galion, Ohio facility.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production to Mexico contributed importantly to worker
separations at the Galion, Ohio facility.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Peco II Lineage
Power, Galion, Ohio, who are engaged in activities related to
the production of telecommunication power equipment, 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 Peco II Lineage Power, including on-site
leased workers from Waycraft, Incorporated, Galion, Ohio,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after July 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 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 September, 2010
