SHERWOOD, HARSCO GASSERV
A SUSIDIARY OF HARSCO CORPORATION
NIAGARA FALLS, NEW YORK

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (19 USC 2273), the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of an investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance, the group eligibility requirements in either paragraph
(a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act must be met.
It is determined in this case that the requirements of (a)(2)(A) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on December 12, 2006, in
response to a petition filed by United Automobile, Aerospace and
Agricultural Implement Workers of America, Local 686, Unit 4 on
behalf of workers of Sherwood, Harsco GasServ, a subsidiary of
Harsco Corporation, Niagara Falls, New York. The workers are
engaged in the production of precision valves used for gas and
fluid control.
All workers of Sherwood, Harsco GasServ, a subsidiary of
Harsco Corporation, Niagara Falls, New York, were previously
certified eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under
petition numbers TA-W-53,278A. The certification expired December
3, 2005.
The investigation determined that production and employment at
the subject facility declined from 2004 to 2005 and in January
through November 2006 compared to the preceding 2005 period.
The investigation also revealed that company imports of
precision valves used for gas and fluid control increased during in
relevant period.
In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of its investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance (ATAA) for
older workers.
In order for the Department to issue a certification of
eligibility to apply for ATAA, the group eligibility requirements
of Section 246 of the Trade Act must be met. The Department has
determined in this case that the requirements of Section 246 have
been met.
A significant number of workers at the firm are age 50 or over
and do not possess skills that are easily transferable.
Competitive conditions within the industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with precision valves used for gas and
fluid control produced by Sherwood, Harsco GasServ, a subsidiary of
Harsco Corporation, Niagara Falls, New York, contributed
importantly to the total or partial separation of workers and to
the decline in sales or production at that firm or subdivision.



In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
“All workers of Sherwood, Harsco GasServ, a subsidiary of
Harsco Corporation, Niagara Falls, New York, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
December 4, 2005, through two years from the date of
certification are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 and are also
eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance
under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.”
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 15th day of December, 2006.
