directly competitive with imports of articles incorporating one or more 
component parts produced by such firm have increased;
    (D) Imports of articles like or directly competitive with articles 
which are produced directly using services supplied by such firm, have 
increased; and
    (4) The increase in imports contributed importantly to such 
workers' separation or threat of separation and to the decline in the 
sales or production of such firm; or
    II. Section 222(a)(2)(B) all of the following must be satisfied:
    (1) A significant number or proportion of the workers in such 
workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or are 
threatened to become totally or partially separated;
    (2) One of the following must be satisfied:

workers' firm of articles/services that are like or directly 
competitive with those produced/supplied by the workers' firm; and
    (3) The shift/acquisition contributed importantly to the workers' 
separation or threat of separation.
    In order for an affirmative determination to be made for adversely 
affected workers in public agencies and a certification issued 
regarding eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance, each 
of the group eligibility requirements of Section 222(b) of the Act must 
be met.

agency; and

    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 worker adjustment assistance, each 
of the group eligibility requirements of Section 222(c) of the Act must 
be met.

workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or are 
threatened to become totally or partially separated;
    (2) The workers' firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer to a

production is related to the article or service that was the basis for 
such certification; and
    (3) Either--
    (A) The workers' firm is a supplier and the component parts it 
supplied to the firm described in paragraph (2) accounted for at least 
20 percent of the production or sales of the workers' firm; or

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 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.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
         TA-W No.                 Subject firm                Location                    Impact date

    I hereby certify that the aforementioned determinations were 
issued during the period of December 3, 2012 through December 7, 
2012. These determinations are available on the Department's Web 
site 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.
