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(b) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b), can be
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) 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;

(2) 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

(3) 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(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), 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 April 10, 2012 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Swift Spinning, Inc., East Columbus Plant, a
subsidiary of Swift Spinning, LLC, Columbus, Georgia (TA-W-
81,489) and Swift Spinning, Inc., CYD Plant, a subsidiary of
Swift Spinning, LLC, Columbus, Georgia (TA-W-81,489A) (Swift
Spinning). The workers' firm is engaged in activities related
to the production of 100% cotton ring spun sales yarns.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
Section 222(b)(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(b)(2) has been met because Swift Spinning is
a Supplier 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 is related to
the finished article that was the basis for such
certification.
Section 222(b)(3)(B) has been met because the loss of
business by Swift Spinning with the firm that employed a
certified worker group contributed importantly to worker
separations at Swift Spinning.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Swift Spinning,
Inc., East Columbus Plant, a subsidiary of Swift Spinning,
LLC, Columbus, Georgia (TA-W-81,489) and Swift Spinning, Inc.,
CYD Plant, a subsidiary of Swift Spinning, LLC, Columbus,
Georgia (TA-W-81,489A), who are engaged in activities related
to the production of 100% cotton ring spun sales yarns meet
the worker group certification criteria under Section 222(b)
of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b). In accordance with Section
223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of Swift Spinning, Inc., East Columbus
Plant, a subsidiary of Swift Spinning, LLC, Columbus,
Georgia (TA-W-81,489) and Swift Spinning, Inc., CYD
Plant, a subsidiary of Swift Spinning, LLC, Columbus,
Georgia (TA-W-81,489A), who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after April 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 2nd day of May, 2012.
