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).

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 23, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Raypak, Inc., a subsidiary of PI US Holding, Arcadia,
Florida (Raypak). The workers are engaged in production of pool
heat pumps for commercial, residential boilers, pools and spa
heater. The worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Florida Labor Solutions.
The investigation revealed that the subject worker group
meets the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of workers have been separated during the relevant period
and/or there is a threat thereof.
Criterion II has been met because Raypak has shifted to a
foreign country the production of articles like or directly
competitive with the pool heat pumps produced by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
production of pool heat pumps to Mexico contributed importantly
to worker group separations at Raypak, Inc. Arcadia, Florida.





Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Raypak, Inc.,
Arcadia, Florida who are engaged in employment related to the
production of pool heat pumps, 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 Raypak Inc., a subsidiary of PI US Holding,
including on-site leased workers from Florida Labor
Solutions, Arcadia, Florida who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after November 22, 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 December, 2010
