(1) The first criterion (set forth in

below)
(2) The second criterion (set forth in
Section 222(a)(2) of the Act, 19 U.S.C.

competitive with imports of articles
incorporating one or more component

increased; AND
(iii) the increase in imports described
in clause (ii) contributed importantly to
such workers’ separation or threat of
separation and to the decline in the
sales or production of such firm; OR
(B) Shift in Production or Services to
a Foreign Country Path OR Acquisition
of Articles or Services From a Foreign
Country Path:
(i)(I) there has been a shift by such
workers’ firm to a foreign country in the
production of articles or the supply of
services like or directly competitive
with articles which are produced or
services which are supplied by such
firm; OR
(II) such workers’ firm has acquired
from a foreign country articles or
services that are like or directly
competitive with articles which are
produced or services which are
supplied by such firm; AND

described in clause (i)(II) contributed
importantly to such workers’ separation
or threat of separation.

Secondary Workers
In order for an affirmative
determination to be made for adversely
affected secondary workers of a firm and
a certification issued regarding
eligibility to apply for TAA, the group
eligibility requirements of Section

have become totally or partially
separated, or are threatened to become
totally or partially separated; AND

2272(c)(3) and (4)); AND
(3) either—

firm described in paragraph (2)
accounted for at least 20 percent of the
