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 January 28, 2017 by the state workforce office on
behalf of workers of Meggitt Control Systems, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Meggitt-USA, Inc., DBA Whittaker Control
Systems, Corona, California. The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of aerospace fans, pumps,
and high pressure compressors for the aerospace industry. The
subject worker group includes on-site leased workers from Belcan
Corporation, CDI Corporation, Amtec, Superior Talent Resource,
Inc., Peak Technical Services, Inc., Cadstar International,
and Aerotek.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and customer base/vendors.
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 aerospace fans, pumps, and high pressure
compressors for the aerospace industry by Meggitt Control
Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary of Meggitt-USA, Inc., DBA
Whittaker Control Systems, Corona, California have decreased
absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
article produced by Meggitt Control Systems, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Meggitt-USA, Inc., DBA Whittaker Control
Systems, Corona, California 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
Meggitt Control Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary of Meggitt-
USA, Inc., DBA Whittaker Control Systems, Corona, California.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Meggitt Control
Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary of Meggitt-USA, Inc., DBA
Whittaker Control Systems, including on-site leased workers from
Belcan Corporation, CDI Corporation, Amtec, Superior Talent
Resource, Inc., Peak Technical Services, Inc., Cadstar
International, and Aerotek, Corona, California, who are engaged
in activities related to the production of aerospace fans,
pumps, and high pressure compressors for the aerospace
industry 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 Meggitt Control Systems, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Meggitt-USA, Inc., DBA Whittaker Control
Systems, including on-site leased workers from Belcan
Corporation, CDI Corporation, Amtec, Superior Talent
Resource, Inc., Peak Technical Services, Inc., Cadstar
International, and Aerotek, Corona, California, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
June 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 13th day of July 2018.
