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 October 18, 2013 by three workers on behalf of workers
of Westinghouse Fuel Company, LLC, Windsor Fuel Components,
Windsor, Connecticut (subject firm). Workers of the subject firm
are engaged in activities related to the production of nuclear
fuel assemblies and subcomponents.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers at the subject 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 shifted to a foreign country the production of articles
like or directly competitive with the nuclear fuel assemblies
and subcomponents produced by the workers, which contributed
importantly to worker group separations at the subject firm.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Westinghouse Fuel
Company, LLC, Windsor Fuel Components, Windsor, Connecticut, who
are engaged in activities related to the production of nuclear
fuel assemblies and subcomponents, 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 Westinghouse Fuel Company, LLC, Windsor
Fuel Components, Windsor, Connecticut, Windsor,
Connecticut, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after October 17, 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 21st day of November, 2013
