Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
I. The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(1)) requires that a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm
must have become totally or partially separated or be
threatened with total or partial separation.

II. The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied if either:

(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers' firm to a
foreign country in the production of articles or
supply of services like or directly competitive with
those produced/supplied by the workers' firm; OR
(i)(II) there has been an acquisition from a foreign
country by the workers' firm of articles/services that
are like or directly competitive with those
produced/supplied by the workers' firm.

III. The third criterion requires that the shift/acquisition
must have contributed importantly to the workers'
separation or threat of separation. (Set forth in Section
222(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. §
2272(a)(2)(B)(ii)).

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on May 22, 2009 by three workers on behalf of workers of
Timminco Corp., Aurora, Colorado. The workers produced
magnesium extruded products. The worker group also includes on-
site leased workers from Prime Source Staffing and Ready
Temporary Services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Timminco Corp.
who are engaged in employment related to production of
magnesium extruded products meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because at least 5 percent of
workers in the workers' firm have become totally or partially
separated, due to closure of the facility in June 2009.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift by Timminco Corp. to China and Mexico in the production of
magnesium extruded products.
Criterion III has been met because the shift by Timminco
Corp. to China and Mexico in the production of magnesium
extruded products contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Timminco Corp.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Timminco Corp.,
including on-site leased workers from Prime Source Staffing and
Ready Temporary Services, Aurora, Colorado, who are engaged in
employment related to production of magnesium extruded
products, meet the worker group certification criteria under
Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a). In accordance
with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the
following certification:
"All workers of Timminco Corp., including on-site leased
workers from Prime Source Staffing and Ready Temporary
Services, Aurora, Colorado, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after May 20, 2008, through
two years from the date of certification, and all workers
in the group threatened with total or partial separation
from employment on date of certification through two years
from the date of certification, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the
Trade Act of 1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 23rd day of June, 2009.
