OSRAM SYLVANIA INC.
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM SUPERIOR GROUP
WINCHESTER, KENTUCKY

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 June 11, 2013 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Osram Sylvania Inc., Winchester, Kentucky (hereafter
referred to as "Osram Sylvania" or "subject firm"). The workers
are engaged in activities related to the production of halogen
and infrared capsules, parabolic reflector lamps, and LED
(light-emitting diode) parabolic reflector lamps. The workers
are not separately identifiable by article.
The subject worker group includes on-site leased workers
from Superior Group.
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 a portion of the
production of articles like or directly competitive with the
articles produced by the workers which contributed importantly
to worker group separations at Osram Sylvania.





Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Osram Sylvania Inc.,
Winchester, Kentucky, who are engaged in activities related to
the production of halogen and infrared capsules, parabolic
reflector lamps, and LED parabolic reflector lamps, 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 Osram Sylvania Inc., including on-site
leased workers from Superior Group, Winchester, Kentucky,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after June 10, 2012 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 2nd day of July, 2013
