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 15, 2012 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of Coleman Cable, Inc., Texarkana, Arkansas (Coleman
Cable). The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to
the production of category cable, underground wire, and
irrigation wire. The subject worker group includes on-site
leased workers from Express Personnel and Red Carpet.
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 acquired from a foreign country articles like or
directly competitive with articles produced by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Coleman Cable.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Coleman Cable,
Inc., including on-site leased workers from Express Personnel
and Red Carpet, Texarkana, Arkansas, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of category cable,
underground wire, and irrigation wire 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 Coleman Cable, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from Express Personnel and Red Carpet,
Texarkana, Arkansas, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after May 14, 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 6th day of June, 2012.
