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 13, 2012 on behalf of workers of GenOn
Energy Services, LLC, Southpointe Office, now doing business
as NRG Energy, Inc., Canonsburg, Pennsylvania (GenOn). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the supply
of power generation services. The subject worker group
includes on-site leased workers from RICOH, The Empyrean
Group, and Catalyst Air Management.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and their major declining
customers.
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)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and production of power generation services by GenOn have
decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of services like or directly competitive with the
service supplied by GenOn have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased customer imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales and production declines at
GenOn.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of GenOn Energy
Services, LLC, Southpointe Office, now doing business as NRG
Energy, Inc., including on-site leased workers from RICOH, The
Empyrean Group, and Catalyst Air Management, Canonsburg,
Pennsylvania, who are engaged in activities related to the
supply of power generation services 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 GenOn Energy Services, LLC, Southpointe
Office, now doing business as NRG Energy, Inc., including
on-site leased workers from RICOH, The Empyrean Group,
and Catalyst Air Management, Canonsburg, Pennsylvania,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after November 12, 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 21st day of February, 2013.
