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; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm
have decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied
by such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed by a State Workforce Official on February 1, 2013 on
behalf of workers of NGN - New Generation Network, Inc., a
subsidiary of NGN - New Generation Network GmbH, Portland,
Maine. The worker group is engaged in activities related to
the supply of digital services for trade shows.
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 services like or
directly competitive with the digital services supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at NGN - New Generation Network, Inc., a
subsidiary of NGN - New Generation Network GmbH, Portland,
Maine.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of NGN - New
Generation Network, Inc., a subsidiary of NGN - New Generation
Network GmbH, Portland, Maine, who are engaged in activities
related to the supply of digital services for trade shows,
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 NGN - New Generation Network, Inc., a
subsidiary of NGN - New Generation Network GmbH,
Portland, Maine, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after January 31, 2012
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 12th day of February, 2013.
