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 April 7, 2020 by a company official on behalf of
workers and former workers of Safran, Cabins Division,
Huntington Beach (Safran/Cabins-Huntington Beach). Workers of
Safran/Cabins-Huntington Beach are engaged in activities
related to the production of aircraft interior components (such
as lavatories, galleys, cockpit doors, and windscreens).
Workers are not separately identifiable by article produced.
The subject worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Adecco.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Safran/Cabins-Huntington
Beach 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 a(n)
article like or directly competitive with the aircraft interior
components produced by the workers which contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Safran/Cabins-
Huntington Beach.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Safran/Cabins-
Huntington Beach, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of aircraft interior components, 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 Safran, Cabins Division, including on-site
leased workers from Adecco, Huntington Beach, California,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after April 6, 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 20th day of April 2020.
