In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (“Act”), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor issued
a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance on February 24, 2020, applicable to workers of Spirit
AeroSystems Inc., including on-site leased workers from Acro
Service Corporation, Aerotek, Aircraft Technology Group, Axius
Group, Donatech Corporation, Hi-Tek Professionals, iCONMA,

AeroSystems is engaged in activities related to the production of
aerospace structures. The Department’s Notice of determination was
published in the Federal Register on March 24, 2020 (85 FR 16655).
At the request of the state workforce office, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The
subject firm reports that workers leased from MKEC and Workforce
Logiq were employed on-site at the Wichita, Kansas location of
Spirit Aerosystems. The Department has determined that these
workers were sufficiently under the control of the subject firm to
be considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from MKEC and Workforce
Logiq working on-site at the Wichita, Kansas location of Spirit
Aerosystems.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-95,556 is hereby issued

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 13, 2020 by the state workforce office on
behalf of workers and former workers of Spirit AeroSystems Inc.,
Wichita, Kansas (Spirit AeroSystems-Wichita). The workers'
firm is engaged in activities related to the production of
aerostructures (such as airframe, fuselage, nacelles, nose gear,
pylons, and wings) and related component parts and spare parts,
including the supply of related services (such as engineering,
finance, human resources, information technology, legal,
operations, safety, and other support services).
The subject worker group includes on-site leased workers
from Acro Service Corporation, Aerotek, Aircraft Technology
Group, Axius Group, Donatech Corporation, Hi-Tek Professionals,
iCONMA, Indotronix International Corporation, LanceSoft Inc.,
Launch Technical, LSI Staffing, Mentis, PDS Technical, Strom
Aviation, Systemart, The Arnold Group, US Professional, Yoh
Aerospace & Defense, CTS International, Compunnel Software Group
Inc., Johnson Service, and United Global Technologies.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petition and the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Spirit AeroSystems-
Wichita 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 at Spirit AeroSystems-Wichita have decreased
absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because firm
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
aerostructures produced by Spirit AeroSystems-Wichita have
increased during the relevant period when compared to the
representative base period.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased imports contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales/production declines at Spirit
AeroSystems-Wichita.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Spirit AeroSystems-
Wichita, who are engaged in activities related to the production
of aerostructures, 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 Spirit AeroSystems Inc., including on-site
leased workers from Acro Service Corporation, Aerotek,
Aircraft Technology Group, Axius Group, Donatech
Corporation, Hi-Tek Professionals, iCONMA, Indotronix
International Corporation, LanceSoft Inc., Launch
Technical, LSI Staffing, Mentis, PDS Technical, Strom
Aviation, Systemart, The Arnold Group, US Professional, Yoh
Aerospace & Defense, CTS International, Compunnel Software
Group Inc., Johnson Service, and United Global
Technologies, Wichita, Kansas, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after January 10,
2019 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."

Certification Regarding Eligibility

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

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

contributed importantly to such workers' separation or

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition

During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petition and the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Spirit AeroSystems-
Wichita 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 at Spirit AeroSystems-Wichita have decreased
absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because firm
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the

Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased imports contributed importantly to the worker group

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Spirit AeroSystems-
Wichita, who are engaged in activities related to the production
of aerostructures, meet the worker group certification criteria
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a). In
