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 27, 2009, by the United Steel Workers, Local 3245,
on behalf of workers of Citation Corporation, Citation Wisconsin
Castings, formerly known as Iroquois Foundry Corporation,
Browntown, Wisconsin (Wisconsin Casting). The workers produce
iron castings. The worker group includes on-site leased
workers of Corporate Development, Inc.
The investigation revealed that workers of Wisconsin
Casting, who are engaged in employment related to the
production of iron castings, meet the criteria as Suppliers
for secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
or number of workers at Wisconsin Castings was totally or
partially separated, or threatened with separation, during the
relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because workers of Wisconsin
Casting produced and sold iron castings to a firm that
employed a worker group who is covered by an active
certification to be incorporated into air compressors.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business
by Wisconsin Casting with the TAA-certified firm, with respect
to iron castings sold to the firm, contributed importantly to
worker separations at Wisconsin Casting, Browntown, Wisconsin.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Citation Corporation,
Citation Wisconsin Castings, Browntown, Wisconsin, who are
engaged in employment related to the production of iron
castings, 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 Citation Corporation, Citation Wisconsin
Castings, formerly known as Iroquois Foundry Corporation,
including on-site leased workers of Corporate Development
Inc., Browntown, Wisconsin, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 26, 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 23rd day of December, 2009
