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 August 31, 2016 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Insight Optical Manufacturing Company of Florida
Inc., Aranon Corporation Division, including workers reporting
wages under GrandVision USA Retail Holding Corporation, Hialeah,
Florida (Insight Optical). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of eyeglasses. Workers are
not separately identifiable by the article produced.
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 Insight Optical 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 eyeglasses by Insight Optical have
decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with the eyeglasses
produced by Insight Optical have increased during the relevant
period.
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 Insight Optical.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Insight Optical, who
are engaged in activities related to the production of
eyeglasses, 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 Insight Optical Manufacturing Company of
Florida Inc., Aranon Corporation Division, including
workers reporting wages under GrandVision USA Retail
Holding Corporation, Hialeah, Florida, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after August
25, 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 21st day of October 2016.
