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(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), can be
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
I. a significant number or proportion of the workers in
the workers' firm or an appropriate subdivision of the
firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially
separated;

II. the workers' firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer
to a firm that employed a group of workers who
received a certification of eligibility under Section
222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such
supply or production is related to the article or
service that was the basis for such certification; and

III. either
(A) the workers' firm is a supplier and the component
parts it supplied to the firm described in paragraph
(2) accounted for at least 20 percent of the
production or sales of the workers' firm; or
(B) a loss of business by the workers' firm with the firm
described in paragraph (2) contributed importantly to
the workers' separation or threat of separation.

Section 222(d) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(d), defines the
term "Supplier" as "a firm that produces and supplies directly
to another firm component parts for articles, or services used
in the production of articles or in the supply of services, as
the case may be, that were the basis for a certification of
eligibility under subsection (a) [of Section 222 of the Act] of
a group of workers employed by such other firm."
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on January 26, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Oak Creek Consolidated, Inc., Yorktown, Virginia (Oak
Creek). The workers supply industrial maintenance services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Oak Creek meet
the criteria as Suppliers for secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers at Oak Creek has been totally or
partially separated, or threatened with such separation.
Criterion II has been met because Oak Creek supplied a
service directly to a firm that employed a worker group
eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance, and the
service supplied was related to the production of an article
or the supply of a service that was the basis for the
certification.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Oak Creek
Consolidated, Inc., Yorktown, Virginia, who are engaged in
employment related to the supply of industrial maintenance
services, meet the worker group certification criteria under
Section 222(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c). In accordance
with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the
following certification:
"All workers of Oak Creek Consolidated, Inc., Yorktown,
Virginia, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after January 25, 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."
