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;
(2)(B)(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers'
firm to a foreign country in the production of articles
or supply of services like or directly competitive with
those produced/supplied by the workers' firm; OR
(II) there has been an acquisition from a
foreign country by the workers' firm of
articles/services that are like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by
the workers' firm; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on October 4, 2012 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Wire Company Holdings, Inc. d.b.a. New York Wire, a
subsidiary of Wire Mesh Holdings, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Manpower, Hanover, Pennsylvania (TA-W-82,046), Wire
Company Holdings, Inc. d.b.a. New York Wire, E. Market Street
facility, a subsidiary of Wire Mesh Holdings, Inc., including on-
site leased workers from Manpower and Temp Star Staffing, York,
Pennsylvania (TA-W-82,046A), and Wire Company Holdings, Inc.
d.b.a. New York Wire, Loucks Mill Road facility, a subsidiary of
Wire Mesh Holdings, Inc., including on-site leased workers from
Temp Star Staffing, York, Pennsylvania (TA-W-82,046B) (New York
Wire). The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of woven mesh and drawn wire products.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(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(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country the production of an article
like or directly competitive with the article produced by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group separations
at New York Wire.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Wire Company Holdings,
Inc. d.b.a. New York Wire, a subsidiary of Wire Mesh Holdings,
Inc., including on-site leased workers from Manpower, Hanover,
Pennsylvania (TA-W-82,046), Wire Company Holdings, Inc. d.b.a.
New York Wire, E. Market Street facility, a subsidiary of Wire
Mesh Holdings, Inc., including on-site leased workers from

Inc., including on-site leased workers from Temp Star Staffing,
York, Pennsylvania (TA-W-82,046B), who are engaged in activities
related to the production of woven mesh and drawn wire products
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 Wire Company Holdings, Inc. d.b.a. New York
