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. 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 16, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Fasco Industries, a subsidiary of Regal Beloit / RBC
Horizon, Inc., Cassville Division, Cassville, Missouri. The
workers are engaged in activities related to production of
centrifugal blowers and draft inducers.
The investigation revealed that workers of Fasco
Industries, Cassville Division, who are engaged in activities
related to the production of centrifugal blowers and draft
inducers, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country the production of articles
like or directly competitive to the articles produced by Fasco
Industries, Cassville Division.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production to a foreign country contributed importantly to
worker group separations at the Cassville, Missouri facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Fasco Industries, a
subsidiary of Regal Beloit/RBC Horizon, Inc., Cassville
Division, Cassville, Missouri, who are engaged in activities
related to production of centrifugal blowers and draft inducers,
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 Fasco Industries, a subsidiary of Regal
Beloit/RBC Horizon, Inc., Cassville Division, Cassville,
Missouri, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after November 16, 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 1st day of March, 2011
