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 February 2, 2011 on behalf of workers of Rosemount
Analytical, a subsidiary of Emerson, Irvine, California
(Rosemount). The workers are engaged in employment related to
the production of liquid sensors used in various industries.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from Supervisor
Staffing Resources and Rainmaker Staffing, Inc. The workers are
not separately identifiable by product line.
The investigation revealed that workers of Rosemount have
met the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of workers at Rosemount has been totally or
partially separated, or threatened with such separation.
Criterion II has been met because Rosemount has shifted
to a foreign country the production of articles like or
directly competitive with the liquid sensors produced by the
workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
production to Mexico contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Rosemount, Irvine, California.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Rosemount Analytical,
Irvine, California, who are engaged in employment related to the
production of liquid sensors, 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 Rosemount Analytical, a subsidiary of
Emerson, including on-site leased workers from Supervisor
Staffing Resources and Rainmaker Staffing, Inc., Irvine,
California, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after January 31, 2010, 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 28th day of February, 2011
