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 on February 26, 2016, on behalf of workers of Encore
Repair Services, LLC, a subsidiary of Encore Repair Holdings,
LLC, Simi Valley, California (Encore Repair Services). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the supply of
consumer electronics repair and refurbishing services. The
subject worker group includes on-site leased workers from Select
Staffing.
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)(A)(i) has been met because the sales of
consumer electronics repair and refurbishing services by
Encore Repair Services have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
services like or directly competitive with the consumer
electronics repair and refurbishing services supplied by
Encore Repair Services have increased during the relevant
period.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased company imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales/production declines at
Encore Repair Services.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Encore Repair
Services, who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
consumer electronics repair and refurbishing services, 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 Encore Repair Services, LLC, a subsidiary
of Encore Repair Holdings, LLC, including on-site leased
workers from Select Staffing, Simi Valley, California, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after February 3, 2015, 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 11th day of August 2016.
