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 February 15, 2011 on behalf of workers of CCI Systems,
Inc., Iron Mountain, Michigan. The workers supply design,
engineering and implementation services for communication
network equipment.
The investigation revealed that workers of CCI Systems,
Inc., Iron Mountain, Michigan, who supply design, engineering
and implementation services for communication network
equipment, meet the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number of workers of CCI Systems, Inc., Iron Mountain,
Michigan, have been separated during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales of
design, engineering and implementation services for
communication network equipment have decreased during the
relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of services like or directly competitive with the
design, engineering and implementation services for
communication network equipment supplied by CCI Systems, Inc.,
Iron Mountain, Michigan have increased.


Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased customer imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales declines at CCI Systems,
Inc., Iron Mountain, Michigan.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of CCI Systems, Inc.,
Iron Mountain, Michigan, who supply design, engineering and
implementation services for communication network equipment,
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 CCI Systems, Inc., Iron Mountain,
Michigan, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 14, 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 21st day of April, 2011
