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 22, 2010 by an official from the
International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers,
District Lodge 70, Local Lodge 733 on behalf of workers of
Hawker Beechcraft Corporation, also known as Hawker Beechcraft
International SVC, Rapid Surplus Parts, Hawker Beechcraft
Svcs, Travel Air Insurance, and Hawker Beechcraft Regional,
Wichita, Kansas, (Hawker Beechcraft Corporation). The workers
produce general aviation aircraft.
The investigation revealed that workers of Hawker
Beechcraft Corporation who are engaged in employment related
to the production of general aviation aircraft meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated over 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 with the articles produced by the
workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production of general aviation aircraft to Mexico by Hawker
Beechcraft Corporation contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Hawker Beechcraft Corporation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hawker Beechcraft
Corporation, also known as Hawker Beechcraft International
SVC, Rapid Surplus Parts, Hawker Beechcraft Svcs, Travel Air
Insurance, and Hawker Beechcraft Regional, Wichita, Kansas,
who are engaged in employment related to the production of
general aviation aircraft 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 Hawker Beechcraft Corporation, also known
as Hawker Beechcraft International SVC, Rapid Surplus
Parts, Hawker Beechcraft Svcs, Travel Air Insurance, and
Hawker Beechcraft Regional, Wichita, Kansas, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
November 11, 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 14th day of February, 2011
