The following certifications have been issued. The requirements of
Section 222(b) (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) (employment decline or threat of separation) of
section 222 has not been met.

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

[[Page 42000]]

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.

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
because the petitioner has requested that the petition be withdrawn.

The following determinations terminating investigations were issued
in cases where these petitions were not 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.

The following determinations terminating investigations were issued
because the petitions are the subject of ongoing investigations under
petitions filed earlier covering the same petitioners.

[[Page 42001]]

I hereby certify that the aforementioned determinations were issued
during the period of May 23, 2016 through June 3, 2016. These
determinations are available on the Department's Web site https://www.doleta.gov/tradeact/taa/taa_search_form.cfm under the searchable
listing of determinations. or by calling the Office of Trade Adjustment
Assistance toll free at 888-365-6822.

Signed at Washington, DC, this 7th day of June 2016.
Jessica R. Webster
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
