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:
I. The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(1)) requires that a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm
must have become totally or partially separated or be
threatened with total or partial separation.

II. The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied if either:

(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers' firm to a
foreign country in the production of articles or
supply of services like or directly competitive with
those produced/supplied by the workers' firm; OR
(i)(II) there has been an acquisition from a foreign
country by the workers' firm of articles/services that
are like or directly competitive with those
produced/supplied by the workers' firm.

III. The third criterion requires that the shift/acquisition
must have contributed importantly to the workers'
separation or threat of separation. (Set forth in Section
222(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. §
2272(a)(2)(B)(ii)).

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on July 23, 2009 on behalf of workers of Mantosea Inc.,
DBA Eagle Electric, who worked as on-site leased workers at
U.S. Steel Tubular Products, Inc., Lone Star, Texas (Mantosea
Inc.). Workers at the subject firm were engaged in activities
related to the production of steel tubular products for oil and
natural gas industries. Specifically, the workers provided
repair and maintenance services in support of production of
steel tubular products.
The investigation revealed that workers of Mantosea Inc.,
DBA Eagle Electric, who worked as on-site leased workers at
U.S. Steel Tubular Products, Inc., Lone Star, Texas who were
engaged in activities related to the production of steel
tubular products meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers in the workers' firm have become
totally or partially separated.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers of
U.S. Steel Tubular Products, Inc., Lone Star, Texas are
covered by an existing certification issued based on increased
imports of steel tubular products, and the workers of Mantosea
Inc. were in support of production at U.S. Steel Tubular
Products, Inc., Lone Star, Texas.
Criterion III has been met because the increased imports
of steel tubular products by U.S. Steel Tubular Products, Inc.,
Lone Star, Texas contributed importantly to Mantosea Inc.
worker group separations at U.S. Steel Tubular Products, Inc.,
Lone Star, Texas.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Mantosea Inc., DBA
Eagle Electric, who worked as on-site leased workers at U.S.
Steel Tubular Products, Inc., Lone Star, Texas who are engaged
in employment related to the production of steel tubular
products 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 Mantosea Inc., DBA Eagle Electric, who
worked as on-site leased workers at U.S. Steel Tubular
Products, Inc., Lone Star, Texas, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after July 13,
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 27th day of January 2010
