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;
(2)(B)(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers'
firm to a foreign country in the production of
articles or supply of services like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by the
workers' firm; OR
(II) there has been an acquisition from a
foreign country by the workers' firm of
articles/services that are like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by
the workers' firm; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on December 22, 2016 on behalf of workers of Interlectric
Corporation, Nefglo Products Division, a subsidiary of
Intervestment Corporation, Warren, Pennsylvania (Interlectric-
Nefglo). The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to
the production of general lighting such as fluorescent, light
emitting diode (LED), and tanning lamps. The subject worker
group (Interlectric-Nefglo) includes workers who provide human
resources, logistics, sales, marketing, and other support
services related to the Nefglo Products Division.
The subject worker group does not include on-site leased
workers.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioners.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Interlectric-Nefglo have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to
become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers'
successor firm has shifted to a foreign country the production
of a(n) article like or directly competitive with the article
produced by the workers which contributed importantly to the
worker group separations at Interlectric-Nefglo.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Interlectric
Corporation, Nefglo Products Division, Warren, Pennsylvania,
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 Interlectric Corporation, Nefglo Products
Division, a subsidiary of Intervestment Corporation,
Warren, Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after December 21, 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 1th day of March 2017.
