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 February 11, 2011, by a company official on behalf of
workers of Ansley, Inc., Bonners Ferry, Idaho. The workers
provide millwright construction and maintenance services for
the lumber industry. The worker group includes workers of
Ansley, Inc. at various worksites in Idaho and Washington.
The investigation revealed that workers of Ansley, Inc.,
Bonners Ferry, Idaho, who are engaged in employment related to
millwright construction and maintenance services, meet the
criteria as Suppliers for secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers have been separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because Ansley, Inc. supplied
services directly to a firm with a TAA-certified worker group,
and the services supplied were related to the production of
articles that were the basis for the TAA certification.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business
with the TAA-certified firm, with respect to maintenance
services supplied to the TAA-certified firm, contributed
importantly to worker separations at Ansley, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Ansley, Inc.,
including off-site workers in Idaho and Washington, Bonners
Ferry, Idaho, who are engaged in employment related to
millwright construction and maintenance, 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 Ansley, Inc., including off-site workers
in Idaho and Washington, Bonners Ferry, Idaho, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
February 10, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 6th day of April, 2011
