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. (Set forth in 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 23, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Propex Operating Company, LLC, Bainbridge, Georgia
(Propex Operating Company, LLC). The workers are engaged in
activities related to production of spun yarn. The worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Ambassador, Personnel.
The investigation revealed that workers of Propex Operating
Company, LLC, who are engaged in activities related to
production of spun yarn, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers have been totally or partially separated or
threatened with separation.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the subject firm
is in the process of shifting the production of spun yarn to
Hungary.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production of spun yarn by Propex Operating Company, LLC,
contributed importantly to worker group separations at the
Propex Operating Company, LLC.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Propex Operating
Company, LLC, Bainbridge, Georgia, who are engaged in
activities related to production of spun yarn, 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 Propex Operating Company, LLC, including
on-site leased workers from Ambassador, Personnel,
Bainbridge, Georgia, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after August 18, 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 10th day of September, 2010
