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 March 7, 2016 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Time Machine, Inc., Polk, Pennsylvania (Time
Machine). The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to
the production of OEM and aftermarket parts. The subject worker
group does not include on-site leased workers. The workers are
not separately identifiable by article produced.
The workers of Time Machine were previously certified
eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) under
petition number TA-W-85,070 which expired on March 26, 2016.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the firm's customer.
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
and/or production of OEM and aftermarket parts produced by
Time Machine have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
articles produced by Time Machine have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased customer imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales/production declines at Time
Machine.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Time Machine, Inc.,
Polk, Pennsylvania, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of OEM and aftermarket parts 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 Time Machine, Inc., Polk, Pennsylvania, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after March 27, 2016 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 21st day of April 2016.
