(Department) herein presents the results of an investigation
regarding certification of eligibility to apply for Trade

under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are

Basin Economic Act; or

(III) there has been or is likely to be an increase

The investigation was initiated in response to a Trade
Adjustment Assistance for Workers (TAA) and Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) petition dated November 3, 2021 and
filed on November 4, 2021 by a state workforce office, on behalf
of former workers of Safran Cabin Materials, LLC, Engineered
Material and Advanced Composites Division, Ontario, California
(hereafter referred to as the "worker group" or "Safran/EMAC-
Ontario"). 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
component parts for the aerospace industry. The petition alleges
that worker separations, or threats thereof, at Safran/EMAC-
Ontario are due to a shift in production to a foreign country.

During the investigation, the Department collected
information from the petitioner(s), the workers' firm, and other
relevant sources.

Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in Safran/EMAC-Ontario 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 a portion of production of articles like or directly
competitive with the component parts produced at Safran/EMAC-
Ontario to a foreign country that is party to a free trade
agreement with the United States or a beneficiary country under
the African Growth and Opportunity Act or the Caribbean Basin
Economic Recovery Act.

ALTERNATIVE TRADE ADJUSTMENT ASSISTANCE

In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (the Act), 19 U.S.C. § 2813, the Department herein
presents the results of its investigation regarding certification
of eligibility to apply for Alternative Trade Adjustment Assis-
tance (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 are 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 Safran/EMAC-Ontario are 50 years
of age or older.

Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(II) has been met because the workers
in Safran/EMAC-Ontario possess skills that are not easily
transferrable.

Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(III) has been met because conditions
within the workers' industry are adverse.

Conclusion

After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Safran/EMAC-Ontario,
who are engaged in activities related to the production of
component parts, 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 Materials, LLC, Engineered
Material and Advanced Composites Division, Ontario,
California, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after November 3, 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 are also eligible to apply
for alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246
of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended."
