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 25, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Telair International, Nordisk Aviation Products, Simi
Valley, California. The workers produce air cargo containers.
The investigation revealed that workers of Telair
International, Nordisk Aviation Products, Simi Valley,
California who are engaged in employment related to the
production of air cargo containers meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because the workforce at Simi
Valley is experiencing significant layoffs.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted production to a foreign country during the
relevant period.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production of air cargo containers to foreign countries has
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Telair
International, Nordisk Aviation Products, Simi Valley,
California.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Telair International,
Nordisk Aviation Products, Simi Valley, California, who are
engaged in employment related to air cargo containers 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 Telair International, Nordisk Aviation
Products, Simi Valley, California, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after July 20,
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 28th day of September, 2010.
