Notice of Termination of Investigation for
Trade Adjustment Assistance for Workers

Pursuant to Section 221 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, an investigation was initiated
in response to a Trade Adjustment Assistance for Workers petition dated January 27, 2021 and filed
on January 27, 2021 by Workers on behalf of workers and former workers of Ormco Corporation,
Spark, Pomona, California.

20 C.F.R. 618.210(e)(1) states that the Department of Labor may terminate an investigation
if the investigation establishes one of the following: (i) The petition is invalid, which includes
petitions identifying a nonexistent group of workers, filed under false pretenses, or perpetuating
fraud; (ii) The petitioner has withdrawn the petition in writing; (iii) The group of workers identified
in the investigation is the same as a group of workers identified in another pending investigation;

(iv) The group of workers identified in the investigation already has been issued a denial, and the
period of investigation applicable to the current investigation and the previous denial is the same;
or (v) The group of workers identified in the investigation is already covered by a certification that
does not expire within 90 calendar days of the determination.
In this case, the group of workers on whose behalf the petition was filed is covered under an
existing certification 96672 which expires on February 7, 2023. Consequently, the investigation
has been terminated.
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 7th day of February, 2021
