The following certifications have been issued. The requirements of
Section 222(c) (supplier to a firm whose workers are certified eligible
to apply for TAA) of the Trade Act have been met.

Negative Determinations for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In the following cases, the investigation revealed that the
eligibility criteria for worker adjustment assistance have not been met
for the reasons specified.
The investigation revealed that the criterion under paragraph
(a)(1), or (b)(1), or (c)(1)(employment decline or threat of
separation) of section 222 has not been met.

The investigation revealed that the criteria under paragraphs
(a)(2)(A) (increased imports) and (a)(2)(B) (shift in production or
services to a foreign country) of section 222 have not been met.

The investigation revealed that the criteria under paragraphs
(b)(2) and (b)(3) (public agency acquisition of services from a foreign
country) of section 222 have not been met.

Determinations Terminating Investigations of Petitions for Worker
Adjustment Assistance

After notice of the petitions was published in the Federal Register
and on the Department's Web site, as required by Section 221 of the Act
(19 U.S.C. 2271), the Department initiated investigations of these
petitions.
The following determinations terminating investigations were issued
in cases where these petitions were not

[[Page 19471]]

filed in accordance with the requirements of 29 CFR 90.11. Every
petition filed by workers must be signed by at least three individuals
of the petitioning worker group. Petitioners separated more than one
year prior to the date of the petition cannot be covered under a
certification of a petition under Section 223(b), and therefore, may
not be part of a petitioning worker group. For one or more of these
reasons, these petitions were deemed invalid.

The following determinations terminating investigations were issued
because the petitioning groups of workers are covered by active
certifications. Consequently, further investigation in these cases
would serve no purpose since the petitioning group of workers cannot be
covered by more than one certification at a time.

I hereby certify that the aforementioned determinations were issued
during the period of March 14, 2011 through March 18, 2011. Copies of
these determinations may be requested under the Freedom of Information
Act. Requests may be submitted by fax, courier services, or mail to
FOIA Disclosure Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance (ETA),
U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC
20210 or tofoiarequest@dol.gov. These determinations also are available
on the Department's Web site at https://www.doleta.gov/tradeact under
the searchable listing of determinations.

Dated: March 29, 2011.

Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
