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 25, 2013 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Decanter Diversified Machine, Inc., a subsidiary of
Decanter Machine, Inc., including on-site leased workers from
Labor Ready Mid-Atlantic, Inc., Ambassador Personnel, and
Staffing Associates c/o BB&T Factors, Roebuck, South Carolina
(subject firm). The subject firm is engaged in activities related
to the production and repair of centrifuge parts and sub-
assemblies for the industrial market place.
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 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 an article like
or directly competitive with the centrifuge parts and sub-
assemblies 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 Decanter Diversified
Machine, Inc., a subsidiary of Decanter Machine, Inc., Roebuck,
South Carolina, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of centrifuge parts and sub-assemblies, 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 Decanter Diversified Machine, Inc., a
subsidiary of Decanter Machine, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from Labor Ready Mid-Atlantic, Inc.,
Ambassador Personnel, and Staffing Associates c/o BB&T
Factors, Roebuck, South Carolina, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after October 24,
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 4th day of December, 2013
