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 November 6, 2013, applicable

of Labor, the Department reviewed the certification for
workers of the subject firm. The workers were engaged in
the production of scrap stainless steel, titanium and high
temperature alloys.

Frewsburg facility to SGK Ventures and the Falconer facility
to Keywell Metals LLC on January 1, 2014. The intent of the
Department’s certification is to include all workers of the s
ubject firm who were adversely affected by imports of articles
directly competitive to scrap stainless steel, titanium and
high temperature alloys. The amended notice applicable to
TA-W-83,085 and TA-W-83,085A is hereby issued as follows:
"All workers of SGK Ventures, formerly known 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
issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance on November 6, 2013, applicable to workers
of Keywell LLC, Frewsburg, New York. The workers are engaged in
activities related to the production of scrap stainless,
titanium and high temperature alloys. The subject worker group
includes workers engaged in employment related to the processing
of the metals from scrap for use in other products for
customers. The notice will be published soon in the Federal
Register.
At the request of New York State agency, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm.
Information shows that the correct city location for 1873 Lyndon
Boulevard is Falconer, New York not Frewsburg, New York as
indicated on the petition. The original intent of the
Chautauqua Workforce Office and the subject firm was to include
the Frewsburg, New York and Falconer, New York locations of
Keywell LLC in the certification determination.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by
increased company imports of scrap stainless steel, titanium and
high temperature alloys.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification
to include workers of the Frewsburg, New York and Falconer, New
York locations of Keywell LLC.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-83,085 and TA-W-
83,085A are hereby issued as follows:

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; 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 September 16, 2013 on behalf of workers of Keywell LLC,
Frewsburg, New York (subject firm). The workers’ firm is engaged
in activities related to the production of scrap stainless,
titanium and high temperature alloys. The subject worker group
includes workers engaged in employment related to the processing of
the metals from scrap for use in other products for customers.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers’ firm via email and a business data
request.
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/or production of scrap stainless, titanium and high
temperature alloys by the subject firm 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 the subject firm 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 the subject
firm.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Keywell LLC, Frewsburg,
New York, who are engaged in activities related to the production
of scrap stainless, titanium and high temperature alloys, 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 Keywell LLC, Frewsburg, New York, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
September 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.”

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 September 16, 2013 on behalf of workers of Keywell LLC,
Frewsburg, New York (subject firm). The workers’ firm is engaged
in activities related to the production of scrap stainless,
titanium and high temperature alloys. The subject worker group
includes workers engaged in employment related to the processing of
the metals from scrap for use in other products for customers.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers’ firm via email and a business data
request.
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/or production of scrap stainless, titanium and high
temperature alloys by the subject firm 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 the subject firm 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 the subject
firm.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Keywell LLC, Frewsburg,
New York, who are engaged in activities related to the production
of scrap stainless, titanium and high temperature alloys, 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 Keywell LLC, Frewsburg, New York, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
September 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
