herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment

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:

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;

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

workers of Reach Road Manufacturing Corp., a subsidiary of

Williamsport, Pennsylvania (hereafter referred to as "Reach Road
Manufacturing Corp., The Cutting Room Department"). The subject
workers are engaged in activities related to the production of
cut fabric pieces. The subject worker group does not include
on-site leased workers.
Workers of Reach Road Manufacturing Corp., Williamsport,
Pennsylvania were eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) under TA-W-64,845, (expired February 3, 2011).
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 Reach Road Manufacturing
Corp., The Cutting Room Department have become totally or
partially separated, or are threatened to become totally or
partially separated.

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).

The Cutting Room Department are 50 years of age or older.
Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(II) has been met because the workers in

possess skills that are not easily transferrable. Section
246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(III) has been met because conditions within the

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that the workers of Reach Road
Manufacturing Corp., The Cutting Room Department, Williamsport,
Pennsylvania, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of cut fabric pieces, meet the worker group
certification criteria under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19

Department, Williamsport, Pennsylvania, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after

assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended, and are also eligible to apply for
alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246
