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 September 22, 2010 by a state agency representative on
behalf of workers of ProBuild Company, LLC, a subsidiary of
ProBuild Holdings LLC, Northeast Division, NJ/PA Outside Sales,
Component Technicians Group, Cherry Hill, New Jersey. The
workers are engaged in activities related to design software for
engineered wood products.
The investigation revealed that workers of ProBuild
Company, LLC, a subsidiary of ProBuild Holdings LLC, Northeast
Division, NJ/PA Outside Sales, Component Technicians Group,
Cherry Hill, New Jersey, who are engaged in activities related
to design and software production meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers have been separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift in production by ProBuild to a foreign country.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in production
contributed importantly to worker group separations at ProBuild
Company, LLC, a subsidiary of ProBuild Holdings LLC, Northeast
Division, NJ/PA Outside Sales, Component Technicians Group,
Cherry Hill, New Jersey.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of ProBuild Company,
LLC, a subsidiary of ProBuild Holdings LLC, Northeast Division,
NJ/PA Outside Sales, Component Technicians Group, Cherry Hill,
New Jersey, who are engaged in employment related to design
software, 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 ProBuild Company, LLC, a subsidiary of
ProBuild Holdings LLC, Northeast Division, NJ/PA Outside
Sales, Component Technicians Group, Cherry Hill, New
Jersey, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after September 22, 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 February, 2011
