Certification Regarding Eligibility

To Apply For Worker Adjustment Assistance and

Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility To Apply For

Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance


TRADE ADJUSTMENT ASSISTANCE

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("the Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
("Department") herein presents the results of an investigation
regarding certification of eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance ("TAA") for workers.

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, or an appropriate subdivision of the
firm, have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated;

(2)(B)(i) there has been a shift in production by such
workers' firm or subdivision to a foreign country of
articles like or directly competitive with articles which
are produced by such firm or subdivision; and

(ii)(I) the country to which the workers' firm has shifted
production of the articles is a party to a free trade
agreement with the United States;

(II) the country to which the workers' firm has
shifted production of the articles is a beneficiary under
the African Growth and Opportunity Act, or the Caribbean
Basin Economic Act; or

(III) there has been or is likely to be an increase
in imports of articles that are like or directly
competitive with articles which are or were produced by
such firm or subdivision

The investigation was initiated in response to a Trade
Adjustment Assistance for Workers (TAA) and Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) petition dated September 15, 2021 and
filed on September 16, 2021 by a State Workforce Office, on behalf
of former workers of Carlisle Interconnect Technologies, a direct
subsidiary of Carlisle Companies, Inc., Kent, Washington
(hereafter referred to as the "worker group"). In accordance with 20
C.F.R. 618.110 a worker group is defined as, ""¦inclusive of
teleworkers and staffed workers."

The worker group is engaged in activities related to the
production of high-performance wire & cable products.

The petition alleges that worker separations, or threats
thereof, were due to the loss of business with a TAA-certified
firm, and to the shifting of production to Carlisle facilities in
foreign countries.

During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petition, the workers' firm, and other sources.

Section 222(b)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in such workers' firm or an appropriate
subdivision of the 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 a shift in
production of high-performance wire and cable products to a foreign
country that is party to a Free Trade Agreement with the United
States has occurred.

ALTERNATIVE TRADE ADJUSTMENT ASSISTANCE

In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974, as amended
(Act), 26 U.S.C. 2813, the Department herein presents the results of
its investigation regarding certification of eligibility to apply
for alternative trade adjustment assistance (ATAA) for older
workers.

The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 246 (a)(3)(A)(ii) of the Trade Act are satisfied if
the following criteria have been met:

(I) Whether a significant number of workers in the
workers' firm are 50 years of age or older;
(II) Whether the workers in the workers' firm possess
skills that are not easily transferable; and
(III) The competitive conditions within the workers'
industry (i.e., conditions within the industry are
adverse).

Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(I) has been met because a significant
number of workers in the workers' firm are 50 years of age or older.

Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(II) has not been met because the
workers in the workers' firm possess skills that are easily
transferable.

The Department did not make a determination on whether
246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(III) has been met because 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(II) was
not met.

Conclusion

After careful review of the facts obtained in the investigation,
I determine that workers of Carlisle Interconnect Technologies, a
direct subsidiary of Carlisle Companies, Inc., Kent, Washington,
who are engaged in activities related to the production of high-
performance wire & cable products, 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 Carlisle Interconnect Technologies, a direct
subsidiary of Carlisle Companies, Inc., Kent, Washington, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after September 15, 2020 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 I further determine that workers of Carlisle Interconnect
Technologies, a direct subsidiary of Carlisle Companies,
Inc., Kent, Washington, are denied eligibility to apply for
alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of
the Trade Act of 1974, as amended."

Signed in Washington, D. C. this 6th day of January, 2022
