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 October 7, 2009, by three workers on behalf of workers
of PCC Airfoils, LLC, a Division of Precision Castparts
Corporation, Crooksville, Ohio (PCC Airfoils, LLC). The
workers are engaged in employment related to the production of
castings for turbine engines.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers of Kelly
Services.
The investigation revealed that workers of PCC Airfoils,
LLC, who are engaged in employment related to the production
of castings for turbine engines, meet the criteria as
Suppliers for secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
or number of workers of PCC Airfoils, LLC have been totally or
partially separated, or are threatened with such separation,
during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because workers of PCC
Airfoils, LLC produced and sold castings for turbine engines
to a firm that employed a worker group who is covered by an
active certification to be incorporated into engine
components.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business
by PCC Airfoils, LLC with the TAA-certified firm, with respect
to castings for turbine engines sold to the TAA-certified
firm, contributed importantly to worker separations at PCC
Airfoils, LLC.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of PCC Airfoils, LLC, a
Division of Precision Castparts Corporation, including on-site
leased workers of Kelly Services, Crooksville, Ohio, who are
engaged in employment related to the production of castings for
turbine engines, 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 PCC Airfoils, LLC, a Division of Precision
Castparts Corporation, including on-site leased workers
of Kelly Services, Crooksville, Ohio, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after October
1, 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 18th day of February, 2010
