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:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on August 30, 2010 on behalf of workers of Electronic
Cable Specialists, Inc., a subsidiary of Tensolite, LLC,
Franklin, Wisconsin. The workers are engaged in activities
related to production of cable wire harnesses and metal
installation support structures.
The investigation revealed that workers of Electronic Cable
Specialists, who are engaged in activities related to
production of cable wire harnesses and metal installation
support structures, meet the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number of workers at the workers' firm have been separated
during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and production of cable wire harnesses and metal installation
support structures by Electronic Cable Specialists have
decreased absolutely during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of articles like or directly competitive with cable
wire harnesses and metal installation support structures
produced by Electronic Cable Specialists, Inc. have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased customer imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales/production declines at the
Franklin, Wisconsin facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Electronic Cable
Specialists, Inc., a subsidiary of Tensolite, LLC, Franklin,
Wisconsin, who are engaged in activities related to production
of cable wire harnesses and metal installation support
structures, 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 Electronic Cable Specialists, Inc., a
subsidiary of Tensolite, LLC, Franklin, Wisconsin, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after August 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 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."
