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 July 24, 2013 by a company official on behalf of workers
of The Doe Run Resources Corporation, Herculaneum Smelting
Division, DR Acquisition Corporation, a subsidiary of The Renco
Group, Inc., Herculaneum, Missouri (The Doe Run Resources
Corporation). The subject workers are engaged in employment
related to the production of smelts and refined lead. Workers are
not separately identifiable by product line.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from Total
Electric, Lee Mechanical, All Type, Adecco, Robert Half Company,
and Enscison Corporation.
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 the production of articles
like or directly competitive with the articles produced by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group separations
at The Doe Run Resources Corporation, Herculaneum, Missouri.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of The Doe Run Resources
Corporation, Herculaneum, Missouri, who are/were engaged in
employment related to the production of smelts and refined lead,
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 The Doe Run Resources Corporation,
Herculaneum Smelting Division, DR Acquisition Corporation, a
subsidiary of The Renco Group, Inc., Herculaneum, Missouri,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after July 23, 2012, through two years from the date of
certification, and all workers in the group threatened with
total or partial separation from employment on 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 15th day of August, 2013
