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 May 11, 2012 on behalf of workers of RapcoHorizon
Company, Shop Transformers Department, a subsidiary of RHC
Holding Corporation, Jackson, Missouri (TA-W-81,605) and RHC
Holding Corporation, Jackson, Missouri (81,605A)
(RapcoHorizon). The worker group, RapcoHorizon Company, Shop
Transformers Department, a subsidiary of RHC Holding
Corporation, Jackson, Missouri (TA-W-81,605), is engaged in
activities related to the production of transformers. The
worker group, RHC Holding Corporation, Jackson, Missouri
(81,605A), provides administrative support for the firm.
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 RapcoHorizon.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of RapcoHorizon
Company, Shop Transformers Department, a subsidiary of RHC
Holding Corporation, Jackson, Missouri (TA-W-81,605) and RHC
Holding Corporation, Jackson, Missouri (81,605A), who are
engaged in activities related to the production of
transformers and administrative functions in support of
production 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 RapcoHorizon Company, Shop Transformers
Department, a subsidiary of RHC Holding Corporation,
Jackson, Missouri (TA-W-81,605) and RHC Holding
Corporation, Jackson, Missouri (81,605A), who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or
after May 10, 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.
