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 December 1, 2010, by a company official on behalf of
workers of Russound/FMP, Inc., Newmarket, New Hampshire. The
workers provide engineering design services for audio
equipment. The worker group includes on-site leased workers
from Accountemps, National Employment Service Corporation, and
Office Team.
The investigation revealed that workers of Russound/FMP,
Inc., who are engaged in employment related to engineering
design services, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of workers at the subject firm have been totally or partially
separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has acquired from a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with the services supplied by the workers' firm.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
services from a foreign country by Russound/FMP, Inc.
contributed importantly to worker group separations at the
Newmarket, New Hampshire facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Russound/FMP, Inc.,
Newmarket, New Hampshire, who are engaged in employment related
to engineering design services, 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 Russound/FMP, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from Accountemps, National Employment
Service Corporation, and Office Team, Newmarket, New
Hampshire, 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 10th day of December, 2010
