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 November 3, 2009 on behalf of workers of ArcelorMittal
Steelton LLC, Steelton, Pennsylvania (ArcelorMittal). Workers at
the subject firm are engaged in activities related to the
production of railroad rails, blooms, ingots and bars. The
workers are not separately identifiable by product. The
investigation revealed that the worker group at the subject firm
includes on-site leased workers from Bernard & Bernard of Exton
Inc. and Adeeco Employment Services.
The investigation further revealed that workers of
ArcelorMittal Steelton LLC, including on-site leased workers
from Bernard & Bernard of Exton Inc. and Adeeco Employment
Services, Steelton, Pennsylvania, who are engaged in employment
related to the production of railroad rails, blooms, ingots and
bars meet the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the 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 railroad rails, blooms, ingots and bars
by the subject firm decreased during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with railroad rails,
blooms, ingots and bars produced by ArcelorMittal have
increased. Specifically, the Department of Labor conducted a
survey of the subject firm's major declining customers regarding
their purchases of railroad rails, blooms, ingots and bars
during the relevant period. The survey revealed increased
customer reliance on imported railroad rails, blooms, ingots
and bars.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased imports of railroad rails, blooms, ingots and
bars by customers of ArcelorMittal contributed importantly to
the worker group separations and sales/production declines at
ArcelorMittal.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of ArcelorMittal
Steelton LLC, including on-site leased workers from Bernard &
Bernard of Exton Inc. and Adeeco Employment Services, Steelton,
Pennsylvania, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of railroad rails, blooms, ingots and bars 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 ArcelorMittal Steelton LLC, including on-
site leased workers from Bernard & Bernard of Exton Inc.
and Adeeco Employment Services, Steelton, Pennsylvania,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after November 2, 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 17th day of March 2010
