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 20, 2012 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Air System Components, Inc., a subsidiary of
Tomkins Industries, including on-site leased workers from
DmDickanson Personnel, El Paso, Texas (TA-W-81,733) and RM
Personnel and Select Services working on-site at Air System
Components, Inc., a subsidiary of Tomkins Industries, El Paso,
Texas (TA-W-81,733A) (Air System Components). The workers'
firm is engaged in activities related to the production of
ventilation fans.
The worker group, Air System Components, Inc., a
subsidiary of Tomkins Industries, including on-site leased
workers from DmDickanson Personnel, El Paso, Texas (TA-W-
81,733), was certified eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) under certification TA-W-72,314, which
expired on October 23, 2011. The workers of RM Personnel and
Select Services were not included in certification TA-W-
72,314.
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 Air System Components.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Air System
Components, Inc., a subsidiary of Tomkins Industries,
including on-site leased workers from DmDickanson Personnel,
El Paso, Texas (TA-W-81,733) and RM Personnel and Select
Services working on-site at Air System Components, Inc., a
subsidiary of Tomkins Industries, El Paso, Texas (TA-W-
81,733A), who are engaged in activities related to the
production of ventilation fans 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 Air System Components, Inc., a subsidiary
of Tomkins Industries, including on-site leased workers
from DmDickanson Personnel, El Paso, Texas (TA-W-81,733),
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after October 24, 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,
AND


All workers of RM Personnel and Select Services working
on-site at Air System Components, Inc., a subsidiary of
Tomkins Industries, El Paso, Texas (TA-W-81,733A), who
became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after June 13, 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 11th day of July, 2012.
