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 February 15, 2019 by a company official on behalf of
workers and former workers of A.L.P. Lighting Components, Inc.,
Olive Branch Division, a subsidiary of A.L.P. Lighting
Components, Olive Branch, Mississippi (A.L.P. Lighting
Components-Olive Branch). The subject worker group includes on-
site leased workers from Select Staffing and Millennium Search.
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of plastic profile (extruded sheet and
thermoforming).
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in A.L.P. Lighting
Components-Olive Branch 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'
firm has shifted to a foreign country the production of an
article like or directly competitive with the articles produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at A.L.P. Lighting Components-Olive Branch.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of A.L.P. Lighting
Components, Inc., Olive Branch Division, a subsidiary of
A.L.P. Lighting Components, including on-site leased workers
from Select Staffing and Millennium Search, Olive Branch,
Mississippi, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of plastic profile (extruded sheet and
thermoforming), 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 A.L.P. Lighting Components, Inc., Olive
Branch Division, a subsidiary of A.L.P. Lighting
Components, including on-site leased workers from Select
Staffing and Millennium Search, Olive Branch, Mississippi,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after February 12, 2018, 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 March 2019.
