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(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), can be
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
I. a significant number or proportion of the workers in
the workers' firm or an appropriate subdivision of the
firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially
separated;

II. the workers' firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer
to a firm that employed a group of workers who
received a certification of eligibility under Section
222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such
supply or production is related to the article or
service that was the basis for such certification; and

III. 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
(B) a loss of business by the workers' firm with the firm
described in paragraph (2) contributed importantly to
the workers' separation or threat of separation.

Section 222(d) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(d), defines the
term "Supplier" as "a firm that produces and supplies directly
to another firm component parts for articles, or services used
in the production of articles or in the supply of services, as
the case may be, that were the basis for a certification of
eligibility under subsection (a) [of Section 222 of the Act] of
a group of workers employed by such other firm."
The investigation was initiated in response to a
petition filed on May 29, 2009, by the United Steelworkers
Union, Local 5668 on behalf of workers of Ravenswood Rolled
Products, a subsidiary of Pechiney Metals, LLC, Ravenswood,
West Virginia (Ravenswood Rolled Products). The workers
produce brazed aluminum products for use in the aerospace,
rail, trucking, shipbuilding, and automotive industries. The
worker group includes on-site leased workers from PSA
Personnel.
The investigation revealed that workers of Ravenswood
Rolled Products, who are engaged in employment related to the
production of brazed aluminum products, meet the criteria as
Suppliers for secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because at least five percent of
the workers have become separated from employment during the
relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because workers of
Ravenswood Rolled Products produced and sold brazed aluminum
products to Delphi Thermal Systems to be incorporated into
automotive heat exchangers and HVAC modules. Workers of
Delphi Thermal Systems are covered by certification number TA-
W-63,818 issued based on increased customer imports of
automotive heat exchangers and HVAC modules.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business
by Ravenswood Rolled Products with respect to brazed aluminum
products sold to Delphi Thermal Systems contributed
importantly to worker separations at Ravenswood Rolled
Products.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Ravenswood Rolled
Products, a subsidiary of Pechiney Metals, LLC, including on-
site leased workers from PSA Personnel, Ravenswood, West
Virginia, who are engaged in employment related to the
production of brazed aluminum 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 Ravenswood Rolled Products, a subsidiary
of Pechiney Metals, LLC, including on-site leased workers
from PSA Personnel, Ravenswood, West Virginia, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
May 28, 2008, through two years from the date of
certification, and all workers in the group threatened with
total or partial separation from employment on the 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 22nd day of September, 2009
