INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM
NARCO, BERNARD PERSONNEL (BP) STAFFING, STAR BUILDING SERVICES, GETTIER SECURITY, TUBE CITY IMS

CLAYMONT, DELAWARE
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 February 21, 2014, applicable to workers of Evraz Claymont Steel, including on-site leased workers from BP Staffing and Penache Mechanical, Claymont, Delaware. The Department’s notice of determination was published in the Federal Register on March 14, 2014 (79 FR 14542).
At the request of the State Workforce Office, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers were engaged in activities related to the production of plate steel.
The investigation confirmed that workers leased from NARCO, Star Building Services, Gettier Security, and Tube City IMS were employed on-site at the Claymont, Delaware location of Evraz Claymont Steel. The Department has determined that these workers were sufficiently under the control of the subject firm to be considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this certification to include workers leased from NARCO, Star Building Services, Gettier Security, and Tube City IMS working on-site at the Claymont, Delaware location of Evraz Claymont Steel.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-83,250 is hereby issued as follows:
"All workers of Evraz Claymont Steel, including on-site leased workers from NARCO, Bernard Personnel (BP) Staffing, Star Building Services, Gettier Security, Tube City IMS, and Penache Mechanical, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after November 19, 2012 through February 21, 2016, 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.”

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 November 27, 2013 on behalf of workers of Evraz
Claymont Steel, Claymont, Delaware (Evraz Claymont Steel). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the production
of plate steel. The subject worker group includes on-site
leased workers from BP Staffing and Penache Mechanical.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm, International Trade
Commission, Department of Commerce, and American Steel
Institute.
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 plate steel by Evraz Claymont Steel have
decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because increased
imports of plate steel like or directly competitive with the
plate steel produced by Evraz Claymont Steel have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased imports contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales and production declines at Evraz North
America.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Evraz Claymont Steel,
including on-site leased workers from BP Staffing and Penache
Mechanical, Claymont, Delaware, who are engaged in activities
related to the production of plate steel 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 Evraz Claymont Steel, including on-site
leased workers from BP Staffing and Penache Mechanical,
Claymont, Delaware, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after November 19, 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."

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition

Claymont Steel, Claymont, Delaware (Evraz Claymont Steel). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the production
of plate steel. The subject worker group includes on-site

During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm, International Trade
Commission, Department of Commerce, and American Steel

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.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and production of plate steel by Evraz Claymont Steel have

imports of plate steel like or directly competitive with the
plate steel produced by Evraz Claymont Steel have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
