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:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on June 3, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Anvil International, Inc., Beck Manufacturing,
Greencastle, Pennsylvania (Beck). The workers are engaged in
activities related to the production of pipe fittings. The
group consists of on-site leased workers from Aerotek.
The investigation revealed that workers of Beck who are
engaged in activities related to the production of pipe
fittings meet the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in such workers' firm have
become totally or partially separated during the relevant
period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of pipe fittings by Beck have decreased
absolutely during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles or services like or directly competitive with pipe
fittings by Beck have increased. Specifically, a customer has
increased their imports of articles like or directly
competitive with pipe fittings produced by Beck during the
relevant period.

Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased imports of pipe fittings by a customer of Beck
contributed importantly to the worker group separations and
sales/production declines at Beck.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Anvil International,
Inc., Beck Manufacturing, including on-site leased workers
from Aerotek, Greencastle, Pennsylvania, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of pipe fittings 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 Anvil International, Inc., Beck
Manufacturing, including on-site leased workers from
Aerotek, Greencastle, 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 19th day of March, 2010.
