Amended 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
issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance on July 18, 2013, applicable to workers of
United States Enrichment Corporation, Paducah Gaseous
Diffusion Plant, including on-site leased workers from
Diversified Management Consultants, Inbounds Engineering LLC,
Matrix Engineering, Manpower Inc. and Bartlett Nuclear, Inc.,
Paducah, Kentucky. The Department’s notice of determination was
published in the Federal Register on August 6, 2013 (78 FR
47780).
At the request of the company official, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The
workers were engaged in the production of low enrichment
uranium.
The company reports that workers leased from C-Plant
Federal Credit Union, CJ Enterprises, Paschal Solutions, Ford
Technical Services, Henry A. Petter Supply, KB Consultants,
Henry, Meisenheimer & Grende, SR Martin Group and CDI
Corporation were employed on-site at the Bristol, Virginia
location of Bristol Compressors International, Inc. The
Department has determined that these workers were sufficiently
under the control of the subject firm to be considered leased
workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from C-Plant Federal
Credit Union, CJ Enterprises, Paschal Solutions, Ford Technical
Services, Henry A. Petter Supply, KB Consultants, Henry,
Meisenheimer & Grende, SR Martin Group and CDI Corporation
working on-site at the Paducah, Kentucky location of United
States Enrichment Corporation.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-82,862 is hereby
issued as follows:
“All workers of United States Enrichment Corporation,
Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant, including on-site leased
workers from Diversified Management Consultants, Inbounds
Engineering LLC, Matrix Engineering, Manpower Inc.,
Bartlett Nuclear, Inc., C-Plant Federal Credit Union, CJ
Enterprises, Paschal Solutions, Ford Technical Services,
Henry A. Petter Supply, KB Consultants, Henry, Meisenheimer
& Grende, SR Martin Group and CDI Corporation, Paducah,
Kentucky, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after June 27, 2012, through July 18,
2015, 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.”

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 28, 2013 by the United Steel, Paper and Forestry,
Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial Service Workers
International Union (USW) on behalf of workers of United States
Enrichment Corporation, Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant, Paducah,
Kentucky. The workers’ firm is engaged in activities related to
the production of low enriched uranium used in the fabrication of
commercial nuclear fuel. The worker group includes on-site leased
workers from Diversified Management Consultants, Inbounds
Engineering LLC, Matrix Engineering, Manpower Inc. and Bartlett
Nuclear.
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 acquired from a foreign country articles like or directly
competitive with the low enriched uranium produced by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
United States Enrichment Corporation, Paducah Gaseous Diffusion
Plant, Paducah, Kentucky.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of United States
Enrichment Corporation, Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant, Paducah,
Kentucky, who are engaged in activities related to the production
of low enriched uranium 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 United States Enrichment Corporation,
Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant, including on-site leased
workers from Diversified Management Consultants, Inbounds
Engineering LLC, Matrix Engineering, Manpower Inc. and
Bartlett Nuclear, Inc., Paducah, Kentucky, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
June 27, 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.”
