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 30, 2013 by the United Steelworkers, Local
4889, on behalf of workers of Gamesa Technology Corporation,
including on-site leased workers from A & A Wind Pros Inc.,
ABB Inc., Airway Services Inc., Amerisafe Consulting & Safety
Services, Apex Alternative Access, Avanti Wind Systems, Inc.,
Broadwind Services LLC, Electric Power Systems International,
Evolution Energy Group LLC, Global Energy Services USA Inc.,
Ingeteam Inc., Kelly Services, Inc., LM Wind Power Blades (ND
Inc., Matrix Service Industrial Contract, Mistras Group Inc.,
Orion ICS LLC, Power Climber Wind, Rope Partner, Inc., Run
Energy LP, SERENA USA, Inc., Spherion "The Mergis Group,"
System One, UpWind Solutions Inc., Wind Solutions LLC, and
Wind Turbine Solutions LLC, Trevose, Pennsylvania (TA-W-
83,179), and Gamesa Technology Corporation, including on-site
leased workers from Sunstates Security, Clean Net, Accurate
Forklift, Taylor Northeast, Cargo Tech International And
McClarin Plastics, Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania (TA-W-
83,179A). The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to
the production of nascelles and hubs for wind turbine
generators.
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 shifted to a foreign country production of articles
like or directly competitive with the articles produced by the
workers, which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Gamesa Technology Corporation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Gamesa Technology
Corporation, Trevose, Pennsylvania (TA-W-83,179), and Gamesa
Technology Corporation, Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania (TA-W-
83,179A) who are engaged in activities related to the production
of nascelles and hubs for wind turbine generators 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 Gamesa Technology Corporation, including
on-site leased workers from A & A Wind Pros Inc., ABB
Inc., Airway Services Inc., Amerisafe Consulting & Safety
Services, Apex Alternative Access, Avanti Wind Systems,
Inc., Broadwind Services LLC, Electric Power Systems

partially separated from employment on or after October 29,
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 29th day of January, 2014.
