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;
(2)(B)(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
(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; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have contributed
importantly to the workers’ separation or
threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on October 31, 2011 by a one-stop operator/partner on
behalf of workers of Fair-Rite Products Corp., Flat Rock,
Illinois (TA-W-81,036). The petition was expanded to include
workers of Fair-Rite Products Corp., Wallkill, New York (TA-W-
81,036A). The workers’ firm is engaged in activities related to
the production of ferrite components.
The workers of Fair-Rite Products Corp., Flat Rock,
Illinois were certified eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) under petition number TA-W-71,760. The
certification expired on October 5, 2011.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers’ firm.
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)(B) has been met because the workers’
firm has shifted to a foreign country the production of an
article like or directly competitive with the article produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Fair-Rite Products Corp., Flat Rock, Illinois
and Fair-Rite Products Corp., Wallkill, New York.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Fair-Rite Products
Corp., Flat Rock, Illinois (TA-W-81,036) and Fair-Rite
Products Corp., Wallkill, New York (TA-W-81,036A), who are
engaged in activities related to the production of ferrite
components 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 Fair-Rite Products Corp., Flat Rock,
Illinois (TA-W-81,036), who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after October 6, 2011,
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,
AND


All workers of Fair-Rite Products Corp., Wallkill, New
York (TA-W-81,036A), who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after February 13, 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 30th day of December, 2011.
