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 August 14, 2013 by a State Workforce Agency on behalf of
workers of McDermott, Inc., a subsidiary of McDermott
International, Inc., Morgan City, Louisiana (McDermott Inc.). The
subject workers are engaged in employment related to the
production of deepwater oil, platforms and related components. The
worker groups are not separately identifiable by article produced
by the firm.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from Ameri-
Force Craft Services, Inc., Andras Welders, B&D Contracting, Brand
Energy Solutions, C&G Welding, Chet Morrison Contractors,
Coastwide Electric, Contractor Labor Services, Global Industrial
Services, Gulf South Services, Herbert Crappell, Hutco, IMTC,
International Plant Services, LNH, LLC, Maxum, Original USA
General Labor, Permanent Workers, Quality Construction Production,
Quality Constructors of LA, RBT Welders, Savard Marine Services,
Shore, Southland, Talon Services, Technical Marine Maintenance
Louisiana, Trillium Construction Services and Turner Industries.
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 those produced by the subject
workers, which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at McDermott, Inc., Morgan City, Louisiana.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of McDermott, Inc., a
subsidiary of McDermott International, Inc., Morgan City,
Louisiana who are/were engaged in employment related to the
production of deepwater oil, platforms and related components,
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 McDermott, Inc., a subsidiary of McDermott
International, Inc., including on-site leased workers from
Ameri-Force Craft Services, Inc., Andras Welders, B&D
Contracting, Brand Energy Solutions, C&G Welding, Chet
Morrison Contractors, Coastwide Electric, Contractor Labor
Services, Global Industrial Services, Gulf South Services,
Herbert Crappell, Hutco, IMTC, International Plant Services,
LNH, LLC, Maxum, Original USA General Labor, Permanent
Workers, Quality Construction Production, Quality
Constructors of LA, RBT Welders, Savard Marine Services,
Shore, Southland, Talon Services, Technical Marine
Maintenance Louisiana, Trillium Construction Services and
Turner Industries, Morgan City, Louisiana, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after August 13,
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."
