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 September 3, 2020 by the state workforce office on
behalf of workers and former workers of Safran Cabin Sterling,
Inc., Sterling, Virginia (Safran Cabin Sterling). The subject
worker group includes on-site leased workers from Adecco
Employment Services and Augmentation, Inc. Workers of Safran
Cabin Sterling are engaged in activities related to the production
of electrical inserts for use in business aircraft and are not
separately identifiable by produce line.
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 Safran Cabin Sterling 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 electrical inserts produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Safran Cabin Sterling.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Safran Cabin Sterling,
who are engaged in activities related to the production of
electrical inserts, 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 Cabin Sterling, Inc., including on-
site leased workers from Adecco Employment Services and
Augmentation, Inc., Sterling, Virginia, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after September 2,
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 1st day of December 2020.
