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 March 17, 2010 by an Ohio state workforce official on
behalf of workers of Rhinestahl Corporation, Cincinnati, Ohio.
The workers manufacture gas turbine engine ground support
tooling. The worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Staffmark Services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Rhinestahl
Corporation who are engaged in employment related to production
of gas turbine engine ground support tooling meet the criteria
for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
proportion of workers have been separated over the relevant
period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of gas turbine engine ground support tooling
by Rhinestahl Corporation have decreased over the relevant
period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with the gas turbine
engine ground support tooling produced by Rhinestahl
Corporation have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased imports contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales/production declines at Rhinestahl
Corporation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Rhinestahl
Corporation, Cincinnati, Ohio, who are engaged in employment
related to production of gas turbine engine ground support
tooling, 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 Rhinestahl Corporation, including on-site
leased workers from Staffmark Services, Cincinnati, Ohio,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after March 15, 2009, 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."
