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 4, 2009 on behalf of workers of Donsco, Inc.,
Belleville, Pennsylvania. The workers were engaged in
activities related to production of grey and ductile iron
castings.
The investigation revealed that workers of Donsco who were
engaged in activities related to production of grey and ductile
iron castings meet the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number of the workers have been separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because sales and
production of grey and ductile iron castings have decreased
during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
reliance on imports of articles like or directly competitive
with grey and ductile iron castings produced by Donsco have
increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased reliance on imports contributed importantly to
the worker group separations and sales/production declines at
Donsco.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Donsco, Inc.,
Belleville, Pennsylvania, who were engaged in activities related
to production of grey and ductile 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 Donsco, Inc., Belleville, Pennsylvania,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after November 3, 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 April, 2010
