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 November 5, 2010 on behalf of the workers of
Chamberlain Access Solutions, a subsidiary of Chamberlain Group,
Inc., including on-site leased workers from Adecco Technical,
Aerotek and Randstad Staffing, Tucson, Arizona (Chamberlain).
The workers are engaged in employment related to the production
of security access control products.
The investigation revealed that workers of Chamberlain, who
are engaged in activities related to the production of security
access control products, meet the following criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of workers at Chamberlain was totally or partially
separated, or threatened with such separation.
Criterion II has been met because Chamberlain has shifted
to a foreign country the production of articles like or
directly competitive with security access control products.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production to Mexico contributed importantly to worker
separations at the Tucson, Arizona facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Chamberlain Access
Solutions, a subsidiary of Chamberlain Group, Inc., including
on-site leased workers from Adecco Technical, Aerotek and
Randstad Staffing, Tucson, Arizona, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of security access control
products, 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 Chamberlain Access Solutions, a subsidiary
of Chamberlain Group, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Adecco Technical, Aerotek and Randstad
Staffing, Tucson, Arizona, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after October 28, 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 17th day of November, 2010
