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(e) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(e), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) the workers' firm is publicly identified by name by
the International Trade Commission as a member of a
domestic industry in an investigation resulting in--
(A) an affirmative determination of serious injury or
threat thereof under section 202(b)(1);
(B) an affirmative determination of market disruption
or threat thereof under section 421(b)(1); or
(C) an affirmative final determination of material
injury or threat thereof under section
705(b)(1)(A) or 735(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of
1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b)(1)(A) and
1673d(b)(1)(A));

(2) the petition is filed during the 1-year period
beginning on the date on which--
(A) a summary of the report submitted to the
President by the International Trade Commission
under section 202(f)(1) with respect to the
affirmative determination described in paragraph
(1)(A) is published in the Federal Register under
section 202(f)(3); or
(B) notice of an affirmative determination described
in subparagraph (B) or (C) of paragraph (1) is
published in the Federal Register; and

(3) the workers have become totally or partially
separated from the workers' firm within--
(A) the 1-year period described in paragraph (2); or
(B) notwithstanding section 223(b), the 1-year
period preceding the 1-year period described in
paragraph (2).

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on October 22, 2018 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Musco Olive Products, Inc., Tracy, California
(herein referred to as "Musco Olive Products, Inc.") The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the production
of ripe olives. The subject firm includes on-site leased
workers from Full Steam Staffing, Abel Mendoza, Inc.,
Accountemps-Robert Half, Hedy Holmes and Aerotek.
The investigation revealed that on July 31, 2018, the
International Trade Commission identified Musco Olive Products,
Inc., Tracy, California as a member of a domestic industry in an
investigation resulting in an affirmative final determination of
material injury or threat thereof under section 705(b)(1)(A) or
735(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b)(1)(A)
and 1673d(b)(1)(A)). A petition has been filed on behalf of
workers of Musco Olive Products, Inc. That firm was publicly
identified by name by the International Trade Commission as a
member of a domestic industry in an investigation resulting in a
category of determination that is listed in Section 222(e) of
the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(e). In addition, that determination
was published in the Federal Register on July 31, 2018, which is
within one year of the date of the petition filed requesting
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) Certification.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Musco Olive Products,
Inc., including on-site leased workers from Full Steam
Staffing, Abel Mendoza, Inc., Accountemps-Robert Half, Hedy
Holmes and Aerotek, Tracy, California, engaged in activities
related to the production of ripe olives meet the requirements
of Section 222(e) of the Act. In accordance with Section 223 of
the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Musco Olive Products, Inc., including on-
site leased workers from Full Steam Staffing, Abel
Mendoza, Inc., Accountemps-Robert Half, Hedy Holmes and
Aerotek, Tracy, California, who became totally or partially
separated from that employment on or after July 31, 2017,
through the date of the certification and who become
totally or partially separated from that employment from
the date of the certification through July 31, 2019, 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 27th day of December 2018.
