At the request of company official, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers were engaged in the production of aircraft.

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade 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, or an appropriate
subdivision of the firm, have become totally or
partially separated, or are threatened to become totally
or partially separated;
(2)(B)(i) there has been a shift in production by such
workers' firm or subdivision to a foreign country of
articles like or directly competitive with articles
which are produced by such firm or subdivision; and
(ii)(I) the country to which the workers' firm has
shifted production of the articles is a party to a free
trade agreement with the United States;
(II) the country to which the workers' firm has
shifted production of the articles is a beneficiary
under the African Growth and Opportunity Act, or the
Caribbean Basin Economic Act; or
(III) there has been or is likely to be an
increase in imports of articles that are like or
directly competitive with articles which are or were
produced by such firm or subdivision.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on February 7, 2014 by a State Workforce Official on
behalf of workers of Learjet Inc., a Kansas Corporation, a
wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Bombardier, Inc., including
on-site leased workers from Additional Technical Support, Inc.,
Aero Structures Analysis Partners, LLC, Aerotek Aviation, Black
Diamond Networks, Bruce Lutz Consultant, Choson Resource, CJ
Johnson Enterprises, Inc. Daca International, Dark Space, Inc.,
Donatech Corporation, Experts Technical Staffing, Foster Design
Co., Inc., Global Contract Professionals, Inc., Hi-Tek
Professionals, Inconen, Johnson Service Group, Jonas Services,
Inc., Noramtec, Owens Aerospace Of America, Inc., PDS
Engineering, PDS Production, PCO Innovation, Precision
Personnel, Precision Resources Co., Inc., Spencer Reed Group,
Strom, Valper Engineering, and Volt Technical Resources, LLC,
Wichita, Kansas,. The workers' firm is engaged activities
related to the production of aircraft.
Workers of Learjet Inc., a Kansas Corporation, a wholly
owned indirect subsidiary of Bombardier, Inc., Wichita, Kansas,
were previously certified eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance benefits, under TA-W-72,170, which expired on April
16, 2012.
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 employment
decline is related to the shift in production of aircraft to a
foreign country that is party to a free trade agreement with the
United States.
In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 26 U.S.C. 2813, the Department of Labor herein
presents the results of its investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance (ATAA) for older workers.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 246 (a)(3)(A)(ii) of the Trade Act are satisfied
if the following criteria are met:
(I) Whether a significant number of workers in the
workers' firm are 50 years of age or older;
(II) Whether the workers in the workers' firm possess
skills that are not easily transferable; and
(III) The competitive conditions within the workers'
industry (i.e., conditions within the industry
are adverse).

Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(I) has been met because a
significant number of workers in the workers' firm are 50 years
of age or older.
Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(II) has been met because the
workers in the workers' firm possess skills that are not easily
transferrable.
Finally, Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(III) has been met because
conditions within the workers' industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Learjet Inc., a
Kansas Corporation, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of
Bombardier, Inc., Wichita, Kansas, who are engaged in activities
related to the production of aircraft 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 Learjet Inc., a Kansas Corporation, a
wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Bombardier, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from Additional Technical
Support, Inc., Aero Structures Analysis Partners, LLC,
Aerotek Aviation, Black Diamond Networks, Bruce Lutz
Consultant, Choson Resource, CJ Johnson Enterprises, Inc.

also eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment
assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 6th day of May, 2014.
