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 September 29, 2010, by a company official on behalf of
workers of LSI Greenlee Lighting, Inc., Carrollton, Texas. The
workers produced lighting equipment.
The investigation revealed that workers of LSI Greenlee
Lighting, who are engaged in employment related to production of
lighting equipment, meet the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
proportion of workers were separated during the relevant
period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and production of lighting equipment by LSI Greenlee Lighting
have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because U.S.
aggregate imports of articles like or directly competitive
with the lighting equipment produced by LSI Greenlee Lighting
have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased U.S. aggregate imports contributed importantly
to the worker group separations and sales/production declines
at LSI Greenlee Lighting.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of LSI Greenlee
Lighting, Inc., Carrollton, Texas, who were engaged in
employment related to production of lighting 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 LSI Greenlee Lighting, Inc., Carrollton,
Texas, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after September 17, 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 9th day of March, 2011
