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(b) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b), can be
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) 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;

(2) 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

(3) 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(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), 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 July 2, 2012 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of AMG Resources Corporation, a subsidiary of AMG
Industries Corporation, Baltimore, Maryland (AMG Resources
Corporation). The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the production of detinned bundles and other grades
of prepared scrap metal.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
Section 222(b)(1) has been met because 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.
Section 222(b)(2) has been met because AMG Resources
Corporation is a Supplier 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 is related to the article that was the basis for such
certification.
Section 222(b)(3)(A) has been met because the detinned
bundles and other grades of prepared scrap metal produced by
AMG Resources Corporation for a firm that employed a certified
worker group accounted for at least 20 percent of the
production or sales of AMG Resources Corporation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of AMG Resources
Corporation, a subsidiary of AMG Industries Corporation,
Baltimore, Maryland, who are engaged in activities related to
the production of detinned bundles and other grades of
prepared scrap metal meet the worker group certification
criteria under Section 222(b) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b).
In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I
make the following certification:


"All workers of AMG Resources Corporation, a subsidiary
of AMG Industries Corporation, Baltimore, Maryland, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after July 2, 2011 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 7th day of August, 2012.
