Amended 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
issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance on December 28, 2011, applicable to workers
and former workers of Schweizer Aircraft Corporation, a
subsidiary of Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, a division of United
Technologies, Inc., dba Sikorsky Military Completion Center,
including on-site leased workers from Adecco, Aerotek, Inc.,
Aquinas Consulting & Staffing Solutions, Belcan Engineering
Group, Butler America, LLC., Cameron Mfg. and Design, Inc.,
Express Employment Professionals, Kelly Engineering, Kelly
Services, Inc., New ERA Recruiting, Normatec Consultants, Inc.,
and RCM Technologies, Horseheads, New York.
Workers of Schweizer Aircraft Corporation, a subsidiary of
Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, a division of United Technologies,
Inc., Horseheads, New York (Schweizer) are engaged in activities
related to the production of helicopters and surveillance
aircraft. The Department’s Notice of determination was published
in the Federal Register on January 12, 2012 (77 FR 1951).
At the request of State of New York, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of Schweizer. New information from
the subject firm shows that workers leased from Morris Protective
Service, Inc., Pinkerton Government Services, Temco Service,
Inc., and Wesco Distribution, Inc., and two individuals were
employed on-site at Schweizer. The Department has determined
that these workers were sufficiently under the control of the
Horsehead, New York location to be considered leased workers.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of Schweizer who were adversely affected by increased
aggregate imports of helicopters and surveillance aircraft.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from Morris Protective
Service, Inc., Pinkerton Government Services, Temco Service,
Inc., and Wesco Distribution, Inc., and including Dr. Marc
Immerman and Mr. Dominic Insogna, who worked on-site at the
Horseheads, New York location of Schweizer. The amended notice
applicable to TA-W-80,405 is hereby issued as follows:
"All workers from Schweizer Aircraft Corporation, a
subsidiary of Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, a division
of United Technologies Corporation, dba Sikorsky
Military Completion Center, including on-site leased
workers from Adecco, Aerotek, Inc., Aquinas Consulting
& Staffing Solutions, Belcan Engineering group, Butler
America, LLC., Cameron Mfg. and Design, Inc., Express
Employment Professionals, Kelly Engineering, Kelly
Services, Inc., New Era Recruiting, Normatec
Consultants, Inc., RCM Technologies, Morris Protective
Services, Inc., Pinkerton Government Services, Temco
Service, and Wesco Distribution, Inc., and including
Dr. Marc Immerman and Mr. Dominic Insogna, Horseheads,
New York, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after August 30, 2010, through
December 28, 2013, and all workers in the group
threatened with total or partial separation from
employment on December 28, 2011 through December 28,
2013, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance
under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974,
as amended.”

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 August 31, 2011 by a one-stop operator on behalf of
workers of Schweizer Aircraft Corporation, a subsidiary of Sikorsky
Aircraft Corporation a division of United Technologies Corporation,
Horseheads, New York. The workers’ firm is engaged in activities
related to the production of helicopters and surveillance aircraft.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from Adecco,
Aerotek, Inc., Aquinas Consulting & Staffing Solutions, Belcan
Engineering Group, Butler America, LLC., Cameron Mfg. and Design,
Inc., Express Employment Professionals, Kelly Engineering, Kelly
Services, Inc., New Era Recruiting, Normatec Consultants, Inc. and
RCM Technologies.
The petitioner alleges that production of parts has been
outsourced to a foreign country and these parts are imported as the
work is finished in the United States.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers’ firm and the petitioners.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because 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.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales of
helicopters by Schweizer have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because aggregate
imports of helicopters like or directly competitive with the
helicopters produced by Schweizer Aircraft Corporation have
increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased aggregate imports contributed importantly to the worker
group separations and sales declines at Schweizer Aircraft
Corporation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Schweizer Aircraft
Corporation, a subsidiary of Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, a
division of United Technologies Corporation, including on-site
leased workers from Adecco, Aerotek, Inc., Aquinas Consulting &
Staffing Solutions, Belcan Engineering Group, Butler America, LLC.,
Cameron Mfg. and Design, Inc., Express Employment Professionals,
Kelly Engineering, Kelly Services, Inc., New Era Recruiting,
Normatec Consultants, Inc. and RCM Technologies, Horseheads, New
York, who are engaged in activities related to the production of
helicopters and surveillance aircraft, 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 Schweizer Aircraft Corporation, a subsidiary
of Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, a division of United
Technologies Corporation, including on-site leased workers
from Adecco, Aerotek, Inc., Aquinas Consulting & Staffing
Solutions, Belcan Engineering Group, Butler America, LLC.,
Cameron Mfg. and Design, Inc., Express Employment
Professionals, Kelly Engineering, Kelly Services, Inc., New
Era Recruiting, Normatec Consultants, Inc. and RCM
Technologies, Horseheads, New York, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after August 30,
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.”
