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 August 9, 2012 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Darly Custom Technology, Inc., Engineering Design
and Drafting Department, Windsor, Connecticut (Darly). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the supply
of engineering, design, and drafting services in support of
the firm's foreign production of vacuum coaters (metallizers).
The subject worker group includes off-site workers working
from their home in Arizona reporting to Windsor, Connecticut.
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 supply of services
like or directly competitive with the services supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Darly.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Darly Custom
Technology, Inc., Engineering Design and Drafting Department,
Windsor, Connecticut, including off-site workers from Arizona
reporting to Windsor, Connecticut who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of engineering, design, and
drafting services in support of the firm's foreign production
of vacuum coaters (metallizers) 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 Darly Custom Technology, Inc.,
Engineering Design and Drafting Department, Windsor,
Connecticut, including off-site workers from Arizona
reporting to Windsor, Connecticut, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after August 9,
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 17th day of August, 2012.
