Amended 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
issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance on December 14, 2009, applicable to the
workers of Crucible Materials Corporation, Syracuse, New York.
The Department’s Notice was published in the Federal Register on
February 16, 2010 (75 FR 7032).
At the request of a company official, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The
workers are engaged in activities related to the production of
steel components.
New findings show that a significant proportion or number
of workers are separated at each of the above-listed locations
of the subject firm during the relevant time period.
Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification
to include workers of the Crucible Materials Corporation,
Crucible Service Centers located in Auburn, Massachusetts;
Meadville, Pennsylvania; Troy, Michigan; Butler, Wisconsin;
Miamisburg, Ohio; Chicago, Illinois; Minneapolis, Minnesota;
Charlotte, North Carolina; Huntsville, Alabama; Arlington,
Texas; Grand Rapids, Michigan; St. Louis, Missouri, Cleveland,
Ohio, Valley View, Ohio; and Romeoville, Illinois.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by
the increased imports of steel components.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-71,272 is hereby
issued as follows:

“All workers of Crucible Materials Corporation, Syracuse,
New York (TA-W-71,272), including the Crucible Service
Centers located in Auburn, Massachusetts (TA-W-71,272A);
Meadville, Pennsylvania (TA-W-71,272B); Troy, Michigan (TA-
W-71,272C); Butler, Wisconsin (TA-W-71,272D); Miamisburg,
Ohio (TA-W-71,272E); Chicago, Illinois (TA-W-71,272F);
Minneapolis, Minnesota (TA-W-71,272G); Charlotte, North
Carolina (TA-W-71,272H); Huntsville, Alabama (TA-W-
71,272I); Arlington, Texas (TA-W-71,272J); Grand Rapids,
Michigan (TA-W-71,272K); St. Louis, Missouri (TA-W-
71,272L), Cleveland, Ohio (TA-W-71,272M), Valley View, Ohio
(TA-W-71,272N); and Romeoville, Illinois (TA-W-71,272O) who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after June 16, 2008, through December 14, 2011, 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.”

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 17, 2009, by three workers on behalf of workers of
Crucible Materials Corporation, Syracuse, New York (Crucible
Materials Corporation). The workers produce specialty steel and
are not separately identifiable by product line.
The investigation revealed that workers of Crucible
Materials Corporation, who are engaged in employment related to
the production of specialty steel, meet the criteria for
certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
proportion or number of workers at Crucible Materials
Corporation was separated during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production at Crucible Materials Corporation has
decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with specialty steel
produced by Crucible Materials Corporation have increased
during the relevant period. Specifically, major customers of
the subject firm increased their purchases of imported specialty
steel while curtailing purchases from the subject firm.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased imports of specialty steel contributed
importantly to the worker group separations and
sales/production declines at Crucible Materials Corporation,
Syracuse, New York.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Crucible Materials
Corporation, Syracuse, New York, who are engaged in employment
related to the production of specialty steel, 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 Crucible Materials Corporation, Syracuse,
New York, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after June 16, 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.”
