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 September 20, 2012 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Leviton Manufacturing Company, Inc., including on-
site leased workers from RM Personnel, Inc., El Paso, Texas
(Leviton). The subject firm is engaged in activities related to
the production of wiring devices for electrical switches.
Workers at the subject firm were eligible to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TA-W-41,407; expired July 5, 2004).
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers at Leviton 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 wiring devices produced by
the workers, which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Leviton.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Leviton Manufacturing
Company, Inc., including on-site leased workers from RM
Personnel, Inc., El Paso, Texas, who are engaged in activities
related to the production of wiring devices, 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 Leviton Manufacturing Company, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from RM Personnel, Inc.,
El Paso, Texas, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after September 19, 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 5th day of, October 2012
