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 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 October 20, 2010 on behalf of workers of Miller Curtain
Company, Inc., San Antonio, Texas. The workers are engaged in
employment related to the production of window treatments and
pillows. The worker group does not include on-site leased
workers.
The investigation revealed that workers of Miller Curtain
Company, Inc., San Antonio, Texas, who are engaged in activities
related to the production of window treatments and pillows, meet
the following criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
or number of workers at Miller Curtain Company, Inc., San
Antonio, Texas was totally or partially separated, or
threatened with such separation.
Criterion II has been met because the subject firm has
shifted to a foreign country the production of articles like
or directly competitive articles with window treatments and
pillows produced at the San Antonio, Texas facility.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production to Mexico contributed importantly to worker
separations at Miller Curtain Company, Inc., San Antonio, Texas.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Miller Curtain
Company, Inc., San Antonio, Texas, who are engaged in activities
related to the production of window treatments and pillows, 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 Miller Curtain Company, Inc., San Antonio,
Texas, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after October 14, 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 15th day of November, 2010
