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 June 13, 2012 by a state official on behalf of
workers of Ultralife Corporation, the Battery and Energy
Products Group, Newark, New York. The workers' firm is engaged
in activities related to the production of batteries for the
energy solutions industry.
The subject worker group at Ultralife Corporation, the
Battery and Energy Products Group, Newark, New York, includes
on-site leased workers from Adecco Employment Services.
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 at Ultralife Corporation,
the Battery and Energy Products Group, Newark, New York, 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 production of articles
like or directly competitive with the batteries produced by
the workers, which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Ultralife Corporation, the Battery and Energy
Products Group, Newark, New York.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Ultralife
Corporation, the Battery and Energy Products Group, Newark,
New York, who are engaged in activities related to production
of batteries, 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 Ultralife Corporation, the Battery and
Energy Products Group, including on-site leased workers
from Adecco Employment Services, Newark, New York, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after June 12, 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 3rd day of July, 2012
