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 5, 2012 by the International Association of
Machinist & Aerospace Union, Local 90, on behalf of workers of
Rolls-Royce Energy Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of Rolls-Royce
Holdings PLC, including on-site leased workers from Belcan
Staffing Solutions, Mount Vernon, Ohio (Rolls-Royce). The workers
are engaged in activities related to the production of
compressors and turbines, and are not separately identifiable by
article produced.
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 articles like
or directly competitive with the compressors and turbines
produced by the workers which contributed importantly to worker
group separations at the Mount Vernon, Ohio facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Rolls-Royce Energy
Systems, Inc., Mount Vernon, Ohio, who are engaged in activities
related to the production of compressors and turbines, 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 Rolls-Royce Energy Systems, Inc., a
subsidiary of Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC, including on-
site leased workers from Belcan Staffing Solutions,
Mount Vernon, Ohio, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after September 26,
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 9th day of November, 2012
