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 June 2, 2009, by Metal Workers Alliance, Inc. on
behalf of workers of PCC Airfoils, LLC, Minerva Division, a
subsidiary Precision Castparts Corporation, Minerva, Ohio (PCC
Airfoils, LLC). The workers are engaged in employment related
to the production of castings for turbine engines. The workers
are not separately identifiable by product line. The worker
group includes leased on-site workers from Kelly Services.
The investigation revealed that workers of PCC Airfoils,
LLC, who are engaged in employment related to the production
of castings for turbine engines, meet the criteria as
Suppliers for secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
or number of workers at PCC Airfoils, LLC have been separated
at the subject firm in January through November 2009 when
compared with the corresponding 2008 period.
Criterion II has been met because workers of PCC
Airfoils, LLC produced and sold castings for turbine engines
to a firm that employed a worker group who is covered by an
active certification to be incorporated into engine kits.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business
by PCC Airfoils, LLC with the TAA-certified firm, with respect
to castings for turbine engines sold to the TAA-certified
firm, contributed importantly to worker separations at PCC
Airfoils, LLC.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of PCC Airfoils, LLC,
Minerva Division, a subsidiary of Precision Castparts
Corporation, including on-site leased workers from Kelly
Services, Minerva, Ohio, who are engaged in employment related
to the production of castings for turbine engines, 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 PCC Airfoils, LLC, Minerva Division, a
subsidiary of Precision Castparts Corporation, including
on-site leased workers from Kelly Services, Minerva, Ohio,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after May 29, 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 18th of February, 2010
