In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as

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(b) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b), can be
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in the
workers' firm or an appropriate subdivision of the firm have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to
become totally or partially separated;
(2) the workers' firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer
to a firm that employed a group of workers who received a
certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of the Act,
19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply or production is related
to the article or service that was the basis for such
certification; and
(3) either
(A) the workers' firm is a supplier and the component
parts it supplied to the firm described in paragraph (2)
accounted for at least 20 percent of the production or
sales of the workers' firm;
or
(B) a loss of business by the workers' firm with the
firm described in paragraph (2) contributed importantly
to the workers' separation or threat of separation.
Section 222(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), defines the
term "Supplier" as "a firm that produces and supplies directly to
another firm component parts for articles, or services used in the
production of articles or in the supply of services, as the case
may be, that were the basis for a certification of eligibility
under subsection (a) [of Section 222 of the Act] of a group of
workers employed by such other firm."
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on January 27, 2020 by the state workforce office on behalf
of workers and former workers of Cox Machine Inc., including on-
site leased workers from Summit Employment Professionals, and the
Arnold Group, Wichita, Kansas (Cox Machine). Cox Machine is
engaged in activities related to the production of aircraft
parts.
Section 222(b)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in Cox Machine have become totally or
partially separated, or are threatened to become totally or
partially separated.
Section 222(b)(2) has been met because Cox Machine is a
Supplier to a firm that employed a group of workers who received a
certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply is related to the article that
was the basis for such certification.
Section 222(b)(3)(A) has been met because the parts produced
for the afore-referenced firm accounted for at least 20 percent
of Cox Machine production or sales.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Cox Machine, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of aircraft parts,
meet the worker group certification criteria under Section 222(b)
of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b). In accordance with Section 223 of
the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Cox Machine Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Summit Employment Professionals, and The
Arnold Group, Wichita, Kansas, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after January 24,
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."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 2nd day of March 2020.
