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 January 2, 2014 by a company official on behalf of
workers of TVR Machine LLC, Dayton, Ohio. The workers are
engaged in production of hydraulic fittings.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the subject firm and the U.S. International
Trade Commission.
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 hydraulic fittings produced by TVR
Machine LLC, Dayton, Ohio have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with the articles
produced by TVR Machine LLC, Dayton, Ohio have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased imports contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales/production declines at TVR Machine LLC,
Dayton, Ohio.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of TVR Machine LLC,
Dayton, Ohio, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of hydraulic fittings 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 TVR Machine LLC, Dayton, Ohio, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
December 31, 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, 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 25th day of February, 2014
