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:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or threat
of separation and to the decline in the sales or production
of such firm.


The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on January 24, 2011 on behalf of workers of FTCA, Inc., also
known as Fleetwood Folding Trailers, Inc., Somerset, Pennsylvania
(FTCA). The workers are engaged in activities related to the
production of travel trailers and pop-up campers. The workers
are not separately identifiable by product line. The worker group
does not include any on-site leased workers.
The investigation revealed that workers of FTCA, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of travel
trailers and pop-up campers, meet the criteria for
certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
proportion or number of workers at FTCA has been totally or
partially separated, or are threatened with such separation.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales and
production of travel trailers and pop-up campers by FTCA have
decreased absolutely during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with the travel trailers
and/or pop-up campers have increased during the relevant period.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because the
increased imports contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales/production declines at the Somerset,
Pennsylvania facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of FTCA, Inc., also known
as Fleetwood Folding Trailers, Inc., Somerset, Pennsylvania, who
are engaged in activities related to the production of travel
trailers and pop-up campers, 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 FTCA, Inc., also known as Fleetwood Folding
Trailers, Inc., Somerset, Pennsylvania, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after January 21,
2010, 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."
