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 by a company official on June 2, 2009 on behalf of workers
of Excalibur Machine Co., Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of
Core Manufacturing, Linesville, Pennsylvania. The workers
produce fabricated and machined steel parts.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from M-
Ploy Temporaries, Inc.
The investigation revealed that workers of the Linesville,
Pennsylvania facility who are engaged in employment related to
production of fabricated and machined steel parts meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant portion of
workers have been separated.
Criterion II has been met because workers of the
Linesville, Pennsylvania facility produced and sold component
fabricated and machined steel parts to JLG Industries,
McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania to be further processed into
models of aerial work platforms and telehandlers. Workers of
JLG Industries, McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania are covered by
certification number TA-W-63,989 issued based on increased
customer imports of articles like or directly competitive with
models of aerial work platforms and telehandlers.
Criterion III has been met because the fabricated and
machined steel parts produced by Excalibur Machine Co., Inc.,
for JLG Industries, McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania accounted for
at least 20 percent of the production or sales of Excalibur
Machine Co., Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Excalibur Machine
Co., Inc., including on-site leased workers from M-Ploy
Temporaries, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Core
Manufacturing, Linesville, Pennsylvania, who are engaged in
employment related to the production of fabricated and machined
steel parts 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 Excalibur Machine Co., Inc., a wholly
owned subsidiary of Core Manufacturing, including on-site
leased workers from M-Ploy Temporaries, Inc., Linesville,
Pennsylvania, 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 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 21st day of August, 2009
