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 March 2, 2020 by a company official on behalf of
workers and former workers of Aclara Meters LLC, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Aclara Technologies, a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Hubbell Inc., Somersworth, New Hampshire (Aclara). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the production
of electric meters for electric utility customers. The worker
group includes on-site leased workers' from NESC Staffing.
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 such workers' firm 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 acquired from a foreign country the production of
articles like or directly competitive with the electric meters
produced by the subject workers which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Aclara.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Aclara, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of electric
meters, 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 Aclara Meters LLC, a subsidiary of Aclara
Technologies, a subsidiary of Hubbell Inc., including on-
site leased workers from NESC Staffing, Somersworth, New
Hampshire, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 28, 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 9th day of June 2020.
