The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are

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;

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

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

competitive with articles which are or were produced by

Inc., including on-site leased workers from MRI Contract
Staffing and Randstad, Grass Valley, California (TA-W-85,374)
and Grass Valley USA, LLC, a subsidiary of Belden, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from Adecco, Nevada City,
California (TA-W-85,374A). The workers' firm is engaged activities
related to the production of broadcast equipment.
During the course of the investigation, information was

amended ("Act"), 26 U.S.C. 2813, the Department 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
