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 "Downstream Producer" as "a firm that performs additional,
value-added production processes or services directly for
another firm for articles or services with respect to which a
group of workers in such other firm has been certified under
subsection (a) [of Section 222 of the Act]" and defines the term
"value-added production processes or services" to "include final
assembly, finishing, testing, packaging, or maintenance or
transportation services."
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on February 6, 2020 by a company official on behalf of
workers of LEDVANCE, LLC, a subsidiary of LEDVANCE Holdings,
LLC, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania ("LEDVANCE, LLC"). The workers'
firm is engaged in activities related to the supply of
warehousing/distribution and related support (management and
information technology) services. The subject worker group
includes on-site leased workers from National Freight (NFI) and
Vanguard Cleaning. Additional, the petitioner corrected the
worker location provided on petition. The workers were located
at 2460 Brodhead Road, Bethlehem, PA 18020 and not the address
he listed on the petition.
The worker group was certified eligible to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance under petition number TA-W-93,407. The
determination expired on February 15, 2020. The certification
did not name workers from NFI or Vanguard Cleaning.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner.
Section 222(b)(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(b)(2) has been met because workers of
LEDVANCE, LLC is a Downstream Producer to a firm (or
subdivision, whichever is applicable) 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 service
is related to the actual finished article or service that was
the basis for such certification.
Section 222(b)(3)(B) has been met because the loss of
business by LEDVANCE, LLC with the aforementioned firm
contributed importantly to worker separations at LEDVANCE,
LLC.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of LEDVANCE, LLC, a
subsidiary of LEDVANCE Holdings, LLC, including on-site leased
workers from National Freight (NFI) and Vanguard Cleaning,
Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, who are engaged in activities related
to the supply of warehousing/distribution and related support
(management information technology) services 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 LEDVANCE, LLC, a subsidiary of LEDVANCE
Holdings, LLC, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania (TA-W-95,658), who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after February 16, 2020, 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;
AND,
All workers of National Freight (NFI) and Vanguard
Cleaning, working on-site at LEDVANCE, LLC, a subsidiary
of LEDVANCE Holdings, LLC, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania (TA-W-
95,658A), who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 5, 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 11th day of June 2020.
