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 April 18, 2012 on behalf of workers of Flo-Pro, Inc.,
Bedford, New Hampshire (Flo-Pro). The workers' firm is engaged
in activities related to the production of re-manufactured
constant velocity axles. The subject worker group includes
on-site leased workers from Robert Half International,
American Research Staffing Network, and Micro Tech Staffing
Group.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the firm's customers.
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 subject firm
sales and production of re-manufactured constant velocity
axles have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because subject
firm's customer imports of articles like or directly
competitive with the re-manufactured constant velocity axles
produced by Flo-Pro have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased imports contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales/production declines at Flo-Pro.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Flo-Pro, Inc.,
Bedford, New Hampshire, who are engaged in activities related
to the production of re-manufactured constant velocity axles,
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 Flo-Pro, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Robert Half International, American Research
Staffing Network, and Micro Tech Staffing Group, Bedford,
New Hampshire, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after April 17, 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 8th day of June, 2012.
