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 state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Harvey Industries Die Casting, LLC, Aiken
division, a subsidiary of Harvey Industries LLC, Aiken, South
Carolina. The worker group is inclusive of on-site leased
workers from Aiken Staffing Associates and Manpower
Employment. The workers' firm is engaged in activities related
to the production of aluminum die casting for the automotive
car industry. Additionally, the firm produces die casting
components for lawn & garden products and appliances.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and major declining customers.
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 aluminum die casting by Harvey Industries
Die Casting, LLC have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
article produced by Harvey Industries Die Casting, LLC have
increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased customer imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales/production declines at
Harvey Industries Die Casting, LLC.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Harvey Industries Die
Casting, LLC, Aiken division, a subsidiary of Harvey
Industries LLC, including on-site leased workers from Aiken
Staffing Associates and Manpower Employment, Aiken, South
Carolina, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of aluminum die casting 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 Harvey Industries Die Casting, LLC, Aiken
division, a subsidiary of Harvey Industries LLC,
including on-site leased workers from Aiken Staffing
Associates and Manpower Employment, Aiken, South Carolina,
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 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 16th day of April 2014.
