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 August 28, 2013 by United Steelworkers (USW), Local 5171,
on behalf of workers of Felman Production, LLC, a subsidiary of
Georgian American Alloys, Inc., Letart, West Virginia. The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the production
of silicomanganese. The subject worker group includes on-site
leased workers from Extras Support Staffing, Winans Sanitary
Supply Company, Inc., Robert Half Management Resources and PRC
Enterprises, LLC.
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)(A)(i) has been met because the sales and
production of silicomanganese by Felman Production, LLC have
decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because company
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
articles produced by Felman Production, LLC have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased company imports contributed importantly to the worker
group separations and sales/production declines at Felman
Production, LLC.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Felman Production, LLC,
a subsidiary of Georgian American Alloys, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from Extras Support Staffing, Winans Sanitary
Supply Company, Inc., Robert Half Management Resources and PRC
Enterprises, LLC, Letart, West Virginia, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of silicomanganese 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 Felman Production, LLC, a subsidiary of
Georgian American Alloys, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Extras Support Staffing, Winans Sanitary Supply
Company, Inc., Robert Half Management Resources and PRC
Enterprises, LLC, Letart, West Virginia, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after August 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 10th day of September, 2013.
